CONTENT :
This workshop explores abstract visual expressions using a real-time OpenGL environment within the Max/Jitter framework.
The main focus lies on non-realistic rendering, painting and drawing using 3D techniques. participants learn to apply 3D geometry in Max/Jitter to do image-treatment and generation using pixel- and vector-based methods.
Another focus is on live-interaction, using generative algorithms and direct gestures and the possibility to explore syntaesthetic connections between sound, video and graphics with physical-interfaces, networks and other mixed techniques.

PARTICIPANT PROFILE :
This workshop is designed for artists and designers who want to explore the use of non-standard 3D techniques for their graphical or visual work.
Participating artists should have a solid foundation in digital media production (sound and/or video), some knowledge of 3D modelling/rendering software and preferably some basic experience of working within the Max environment.
