1. LISTENING SYSTEMS INTRO TO CREATIVE CODING WITH PROCESSING OCTOBER 2011 - TORINO
2. WORKSHOPS LISTENING SYSTEMS - PROCESSING WORKSHOP - OCTOBER 2011 - TORINO Who are you and why are you here? FIRST POST, IN PROCESSING FORUM, ASKED BY CASEY REAS:
3. WORKSHOPS LISTENING SYSTEMS - PROCESSING WORKSHOP - OCTOBER 2011 - TORINO WHAT IS PROCESSING? - INITIATED BY CASEY REAS & BEN FRY - PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE (JAVA BASED) - MULTI-PLATFORM ENVIRONMENT - OPEN SOURCE - LARGE ACTIVE COMMUNITY - EXTENDED BY CONTRIBUTED LIBRARIES
4. WORKSHOPS LISTENING SYSTEMS - PROCESSING WORKSHOP - OCTOBER 2011 - TORINO WHAT IS PROCESSING FOR? - INTERACTIVE PROGRAMS - 2D, 3D AND PDF OUTPUTS - OPENGL INTEGRATION - EXPORT* TO JAVASCRIPT AND ANDROID - TOOL FOR SKETCHING & PROTOTYPING - BEST FOR VISUAL DESIGNERS & ARTISTS - ALLOWS QUICK STARTS & ITERATIONS - MINIMAL & PEDAGOGICAL * with the upcoming 2.0 version

7. WORKSHOPS LISTENING SYSTEMS - PROCESSING WORKSHOP - OCTOBER 2011 - TORINO BUT, WHY? RECENTLY CASEY REAS ASKED ON TWITTER THE QUESTION: “Why do you write your own software rather than only use existing software tools?”
8. WORKSHOPS LISTENING SYSTEMS - PROCESSING WORKSHOP - OCTOBER 2011 - TORINO SOME ANSWERS Code is a medium; many tools constrain you to narrow subgenres. Knowing the fabric and pigments of the medium permits exploring more. Why? because programming is a creative expression itself. When code goes through my hands, it has my gesture in it. Else it would be like painting with another cold dead hand holding a brush. With other peoples software I can replicate other peoples dreams, with my own software I can dream my own. Because writing software is a form of thinking and making theory; Its a big part of cultural analytics strategy. @peregrintook @simonski @eskimobloood @brainSteen @manovich
9. WORKSHOPS LISTENING SYSTEMS - PROCESSING WORKSHOP - OCTOBER 2011 - TORINO WHAT’S INTERESTING? - THE PROCESS AS PRODUCT - SEARCHING FOR UNEXPECTED EMERGENT PATTERNS - USE RULES AS CONSTRAINTS - THE DATA IS THE RAW MATERIAL
10. WORKSHOPS LISTENING SYSTEMS - PROCESSING WORKSHOP - OCTOBER 2011 - TORINO SOUND AS DATA AMPLITUDE –1.0 1.0 TIME USING SAMPLING DATA Sampling is the reduction of a continuous signal to a discrete one. A common example is the conversion of a sound wave (a continuous signal) to a sequence of samples (a discrete-time signal). A sample refers to a value or set of values at a point in time and/or space. –1.0 1.0
11. WORKSHOPS LISTENING SYSTEMS - PROCESSING WORKSHOP - OCTOBER 2011 - TORINO SOUND AS DATA HIGH FREQUENCY (Hz) USING FREQUENCY DATA THROUGH FFT A Fourier Transform is an algorithm that transforms a signal in the time domain (sample buffer) into a signal in the frequency domain (spectrum). The spectrum represents frequency bands centered on particular frequencies. LOW GAIN
