| =Installations=
| |
| Here is the call for installations or content, that can be displayed during the Berlin weekend:
| |
|
| |
| ==@ LEAP==
| |
| LEAP wants to host several small installations. These have to be small objects, due to the time and technical restrictions. The details are:
| |
|
| |
| * it's possible to use any portion of the space, as long as it doesn't interfere with the activities. The space is an assimetrical room, with a terrace on top (http://leap-berlin.tumblr.com/thespace). In the lower left corner are the stairs to the terrace.
| |
| [[File:Fostex 6301B.jpg|thumb|Fostex 6301B active speakers]]
| |
| * the following materials are available to use:
| |
| ** [http://www.amazon.de/AKTIV-LAUTSPRECHER-Watt-Innen-Aussen/dp/B0016B8N8S/ref=pd_cp_ce_1 2 active loudspeakers]
| |
| ** 2 small active loudspeakers Fostex
| |
| ** 2 Beamers
| |
| ** 1 Flatscreen
| |
| ** 2 DVD Players
| |
| ** Spotlights
| |
| ** other small items might be available, depending from case to case
| |
| ** Not depicted is also an adjacent black room of approx. 4x4m, isolated from the rest of the space. This room has a mounted computer, dvd HD projector and 2 Fostex loudspeakers.
| |
|
| |
| * any computer necessary to run the installation has to be provided by the author.
| |
|
| |
| * Most elements of the Pd-Berlin group will be in Weimar. So, the assembly of the installation must be done:
| |
| ** either before the week of Weimar, or during it, if coordination is possible
| |
| ** just after the trip Weimar-Berlin, before the activities begin. The timeframe is only a couple of hours.
| |
|
| |
| Please send your proposals to '''puredata [dot] berlin [at] googlemail [dot] com'''. Until the 30th of July.
| |
|
| |
| - Who wants to make part of the comittee to decide which works are presented?
| |
| - Crew to help with assembly at saturday afternoon / before Weimar week
| |
|
| |
| ==IAMDISPLAY call for content (patches and music)==
| |
|
| |
| The people of IAMDISPLAY will assemble their object, with 6 modules by a corner wall. Anyone can interact with this object by:
| |
|
| |
| * sending in a patch with their own installation
| |
| * connecting directly to the object by audio or video plug and sending some signal. This can be done after the concerts, or during the improvisation concerts.
| |
|
| |
| You can get informations about the object on the website - http://www.iamdisplay.com/. Soon a Pd template will be available.
| |
|
| |
| Please send your proposals to puredata [dot] berlin [at] googlemail [dot] com. Until the 30th of July.
| |
|
| |
| - transport & montage: 2+3.8.
| |
| - who has a transporter?
| |
| - who wants to help with montage?
| |
| Object will be mounted and working from 3rd, anyone can go there and try out patches, etc.
| |
|
| |
| ==DISCO KUGEL call for content (patches and music)==
| |
| Call for Content: Diskokugel: Audio Plant
| |
|
| |
| For the Berlin weekend of the PD-Con I will install a preview version of the hardware used in my project called "Diskokugel". Diskokugel will be a sphere made of 200 speakers that can be turned on and of individually.
| |
| For more information see: http://amphibiousthoughts.com/projekte/installation/diskokugel
| |
|
| |
| For the installation at LEAP gallery, I will have a circuit ready that will allow the switching of 40 speakers. These speakers will be installed around a corner of the room, building a loose grid from the bottom and reaching into the room above head height. I will provide a sketch soon.
| |
|
| |
| The idea is for everyone be able to connect their computer to the installation and feed their audio and control the installation. The control patch will be available on a USB stick next to the installation.
| |
| People can also send in patches that will be installed on the machine that is connected permanently. These would be played at random when no other input is present.
| |
|
| |
| I have put together a patch that converts a row of 40 ones and zeros into bytes that are then sent to the Arduino via [comport]. A maximum of 8 speakers can be switched on at a time.
| |
| You can download it here:
| |
| http://amphibiousthoughts.com/dload/PD/
| |
| You'll need gridflow in order to make [#many] work.
| |
| Suggestions on how to make this better and a x/y controller interface would be highly appreciated!
| |
|
| |
| The installation does '''not''' provide 40 channel audio. It is just one mono channel that can be switched on or of for each speaker. For that, 5 bytes are sent to an Arduino via the [comport] object. The Arduino will then activate the switching process once the audio signal is in zero phase. This prevents the speakers from cracking when switched on or off. This is not yet working completely, which is probably due to some current leaking somewhere in the circuit. Cracks can be heard, especially when switching very fast and using pure sine waves.
| |
|
| |
| It is possible that, instead of connecting directly to the Arduino, there will be a network cable and the numbers will be sent via [netsend] or osc to a machine already installed. This will prevent PD crashes when disconnecting the Arduino without closing the [comport] connection.
| |
|
| |
| Rules:
| |
| * the interface I provide must be fed with 40 separate binary numbers (1 or 0). Use [drip] to separate lists.
| |
| * the maximum checksum of these 40 numbers is 8, i.e. a maximum of 8 speakers can be on at a time (due to limitations of the voltage supply).
| |
| * send your Pd patches and/or music until the 30th of July to felix at amphibiousthoughts . com, for us to make a selection for display.
| |
|
| |
| - when is montage? Help needed?
| |
| - help needed with selection?
| |
| - patch not very elegant/efficient. improvements?
| |
| - improvement in control GUI?
