The Page + The Screen: Siting Text in the Early 21st Century and Beyond | Session 1
Sunday, February 21, 5 pm, at 177 Livingston; taught by Caleb Waldorf
All sessions of The Page + The Screen are FREE.
The first session of The Page + The Screen will be taught by Caleb Waldorf of The Public School Los Angeles (and Triple Canopy). Since this class is somewhat sprawling, and will include a number of sessions over the next couple of months, the first session will be structured loosely, providing us with an opportunity to talk about our various interests and concerns in relation to the subject matter and how the rest of the sessions might be planned accordingly.

Here’s a discussion series that you may want to attend. The topic is relevant to both The Page + The Screen and Texts + Textures classes. Organized by Kazys Varnelis, the Director of the Network Architecture Lab at the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, the discussions are based on the issues covered in his book, Networked Publics.

This class is a spin-off from The Page + The Screen: Siting Text in the Early 21st Century and Beyond, and focuses on the the future of journalism and progressive media. Related areas of inquiry include the rise of the informational commons, peer-to-peer networks, the Open Source movement, and the archive - both analog and digital.
I am proposing this class as a two-part seminar, which involves a special field trip to Democracy Now!'s (http://www.democracynow.org) new studio, during which time we will watch a live broadcast of the show. This will be at 8am. The show is over at 9 and then we have been invited to spend about an hour and a half in discussion.
This class is an introduction to openFrameworks, a cross-platform C++ library for creative coding. Especially created for artists and designers, openFrameworks is the ideal starting point for those who want to take their first steps in C++ programming. At the same time, it is an immensely powerful tool for developing more advanced projects, providing a simple and intuitive structure for experimentation with many other open-source libraries.
This class will be a chance to experiment with building new systems for interaction that move away from the screen and into physical space.
To begin with, we will investigate the structure of OF and how IDEs work. Then, we will explore the basics of coding in OF and working with media, such as sound, movies or live video. Finally, we'll look at techniques like computer vision or sensor based interaction and how they can be implemented.
This class will track the passage of improvised music into, through, and out of the Western avant-garde. Through readings, listening sessions, workshops, and performances, participants will learn how improvisation has functioned as an approach to composing and playing music and, perhaps more importantly, as an appropriation of alien musical cultures in order to radically alter the structures of Western music and the expectations of listeners.
