Derek Holzer and Adam Hyde
Dec 13, 10:00 - 18:00
Free, limited placement (8 maximum)
booking: malka@nimk.nl
Please bring your own laptops to the workshop!

Do you wish to learn about how to use PureData? Internationally renown 
PureData workshop leader Derek Holzer will lead you through the basics 
of PureData in a special FLOSS Manuals workshop on Dec 13 at the 
Netherlands Media Art Institute. The placement is free but limited to a 
maximum of 8 people.

The workshop will concentrate on an introduction to the concepts behind 
PureData and how to use it for simple sound and data processing. You 
need no previous experience with PureData however you will need to bring 
a laptop with PureData already installed.

This workshop is also the first of a series of workshops organised by 
FLOSS Manuals which look at how to integrate learning and documentation. 
These workshops are investigating how to incorporate creating 
documentation into the workshop flow to better increase the participants 
understanding of the software while also creating documentation to 
assist others. Participants will be taken through a quick introduction 
on how the FLOSS Manuals system works by founder Adam Hyde, and an 
overview of some simple tips on how to write material to help others. At 
the end of the workshop participants will be asked to write some simple 
things they have learned into the FLOSS Manuals PureData manual. The 
manual is to be launched early 2008 online and in printed form under 
free licenses and all contributions will be credited.

Adam is an artist with an international practice who works with 
software, online audio and video, sound art, new technologies and more 
traditional forms of broadcast. In 2006 Adam founded FLOSS Manuals 
Stichting for the development of a collaborative platform for manuals on 
free software. The project has been awarded a grant from Digitale 
Pioneers (Amsterdam) and Adam is currently working developing the 
platform at FLOSS Manuals (http://www.flossmanuals.net).

Derek Holzer is a sound artist with a background in radio, webstreaming 
and environmental recording. His work focuses on capturing and 
transforming small, unnoticed sounds from various natural and urban 
locations, networked collaboration strategies, experiments in 
improvisational sound and the use of free software such as Pure-Data. He 
has released tracks under the Nexsound, Sirr, and/OAR and Gruenrekorder 
labels, and has co-initiated several internet projects for field 
recording and collaborative soundscapes including Soundtransit.nl
