Visuals in Max/MSP – Jitter

This Max/MSP – Jitter course consists of theoretical and practical parts. Its main objective is to familiarize students with the visual workflow in the Jitter environment. The main focus of the course will be on the technical aspects of the software, but in its duration we will discuss some aspects of New Media with the aim of contextualizing our work. Depending on the number of participants we will work on group or individual projects. The target audience for this course are people interested in VJ-ing, Interactive Installation, Moving Image, Generative Visuals and Custom Video Effects.

The course “Visuals in Max/MSP – Jitter” is intended for one month (10 meetings) and will touch upon several topics:

• Introduction to Max/MSP + Jitter
• Introduction to generative visuals
• MIDI, audio control
• Introduction to GEN programming language
• Introduction to openGL in Jitter
• Advanced openGL topics
• Shaders
• Projection Mapping
• Javascript (if time allows)
• Individual/group work

In addition to these technical topics we will read and discuss some texts relevant to this field.

The concluding stage of the Course will be dedicated to project work (installation, visual performance) Students will demonstrate the skills they learnt and participate in a small exhibition.

Students will be expected to work on homework and prepare texts.
