Beschreibung

This course covers the basics of graphical score generation with Jitter, a Max package for video processing, and Drawsocket, a package for the manipulation of Web browsers in local and wide-area networks. We will learn how to use matrixes particularly for video and data processing, look at the MGraphics language for creating graphics in Max and continue by mastering SVG, a file format for scalable vector graphics which is also being used by MaxScore, a package for the creation of Western standard, proportional and graphical notation. Some of the work will be leveraged by a LLM which we will integrate in our workflow on a deep level. Finally, we will apply this knowledge to build graphical compositions for deployment in man-machine networks as well as create various scenarios for music and multimedia performance.
