Alexis Chazard invited me to hold a workshop with him at the Faculty of Arts Plastiques at Paris VIII University.

The workshop focused on the development of an interactive mulitmedia artwork linking real gestures to simulated physical models.

The experiments arised a discussion on how user’s haptic experience build a mimetic link by which the visitor interpret the piece.

Programming relied on Processing and Max/MSP/Jitter, with a particulr focus on my side to the library Mass Spring Damper by Nicolas Montergmont for Max.

The workshop, held at the School of Media Design directed by Francesco Monico, offered an essential theoretical knowledge and a practical experience in the design and development of interactive artworks involving gestures, video and audio.

Day 1 – Notions of interactivity in art. The specta(c)tor is the center. The meaning of actions.
Day 2 – Analysis of “classic” and contemporary interactive artworks. Frontiers between art and cinema and music.
Day 3 – Glance on the tools: sensors and softwares. Mini projects proposals (video to audio to video) .
Day 4 – Introduction to Max/MSP/Jitter.
Day 5 – Group development of the projects.
Day 6 – Finalization of the prototypes.

Introduction to Max/MSP/Jitter

These 4-days intensive workshops, given at Ars Longa, (Paris) got through the fundamentals of the graphical programming environment Max/MSP and its visual library Jitter. They covered notions from the basic functioning logic to some advanced audiovisual experiments, reasoning around the primary computational paradigm input-computing-output.

I’ll upload the course once I’ll have the time to properly comment the patches. Meanwhile if you’re interested in taking a look, drop me a line, so that I’ll prioritize the process..

Interactivity Development

For one year I worked as tutor and developer for Le Fresnoy, Studio National des Arts Contemporains. I developed (or tutored the development of) the following student’s works exhibited at Panorama 7:

Trois Fois Rien by Altinai Petrovich

Trois Fois Rien, interactive movie by Altinai Petrovitch. Interactivity design and development of the navigation interface.

In the Air by Alejandro Moncada

In the Air, audiovisual installation by Alejandro Moncada. Quadriphonic spatialization of frequency scanner interceptions.

421 by Loic Bontemps

421, aleatory interactive movie by Loic Bontems. I developed the tracking of the dices by image analysis.

Salle d’Attente by Cyprien Quairiat

Salle d’Attente, interactive installation by Cyprien Dedeurwaerder Quairiat. I developed a tool to correct the optical distortion occuring from camera to projector lenses.
