Visual Media with Pd and Gem

Pure Data (Pd) is an Open Source graphical programming environment for multimedia development similar to Max/MSP. It allows audio, graphic and physical media to be linked together. In this introductory workshop we look at the basics – what is Pd, who uses it, and how to operate the software, including the interface, available functions (objects) and programming techniques. The second half of the workshop is structured around Gem, a library of video and graphic tools used in Pd to create dynamic visuals, useful for VJs, interactive videos, installations and motion graphics.
