Overview of class

This class is a two-week intensive study of the audiovisual programming language Max. Max is quickly becoming one of the main tools enlisted by media artists in creating complex and pioneering artworks. Through numerous demonstrations and participatory coding sessions, students will learn about a range of applications for Max while developing good coding techniques and building up a library of reusable code for their own future projects.

Topics covered include audio/video processing, generative composition, physical computing, control mapping, and a peek at Max for Live, the bridge between Max and the popular audio performance and DAW platform Ableton Live.

No prior programming experience is required. However, while designed to allow beginners to jump in, this course is also suitable for students with some Max experience who are looking to expand their skills and technique.
