1709: well, it' been more or less an eventful week. first week of classes (read: workshops) and meetings with a few professors. intro week is the same the world over, it seems. lot's of sitting around, waiting, pamphlets of papers, etc. i'm learning maya, a 3d animation program; flash/processing more animation programs. there's a electrical hardware workshop every monday (whoo-hoo!) and a bunch of theory classes. also today i start the max/msp/jitters workshop. probably the most versatile tool for the new media artist, the max programming suite acts as an blank slate between you and any hardware you can hook up to a computer. the possibilities are almost endless. there's also a free version of max called pure data. there's some history between the two, which i won't bore you with here, that you can read on the pure data website. i'll write more later. for now, check out my shared posts to the right, or a few pictures of my studio.
