This August I'll be teaching two Isadora based workshops in Oakland, CA. Full details are at http://www.ianwinters.com/teaching.html
August 8th-9th is a basic Isadora workshop with a focus on performance.
August 14th to 18th is a combined composition intensive and intermediate Isadora workshop called The Extended Now.**

The Extended Now** explores technical and compositional strategies for integrating live and interactive media into the creation of site-specific installation and performance.  The 5 day workshop is taught in tandem with choreographer Mary Armentrout’s inside out / upside down performance workshop. The first half of the week we will focus on the development of technical skills with an emphasis on using live video / sound / sensors with Isadora. The second half of the week we will take that knowledge to create short site-specific interventions in and around the giant industrial landscape / site-specific lab that is the Sunshine Biscuit Factory complex.

Best,
Ian Winters

Hello Mark et al. I am currently writing a journal article that will discuss the current state of international new media art. If any of you would like to participate in this research, I would be grateful if you would complete the attached questionnaire by Aug 1. It will take about 10 minutes of your time. Thank you.

Just had a crash...

**"Crashed Thread:  22  izzy-3 : preroll virus 1.mov"** (virus was the name of the video nothing dodgy!) Wasn't working on anything too serious.

Just a bump here to remind people that 'loopdiver' opens next week. Again, it's our first show in Berlin, so if you know people that would be interested, I'd be very happy if you'd let them know. Many thanks in advance!

Best Wishes, Mark

Just signed up  :)

be nice to meet others using isadora in London Lanz

hey guys, not sure how i missed this would love to come along to the next one.

best, Lanz

Here's to an extra laser-etched brain Mark!  With heartfelt THANKS for all the ingenuity and dedication you've poured into Isadora.  Can't imagine my art practice without it! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Carole

"Palimpsia" Interactive exhibition with Isadora/NI mate/Kinect at Engramme Quebec CA, 510 cote d'Abraham- 6 to16 dec 2012

lovely!

the floor is lit by a panasonic 7k with a 0.8 lens, the cyc is from a tiny Optoma EW610ST 3.1k with a 0.5 lens. everyone was amazed by the throw and output of the optoma, but it was only just powerful enough to do the trick. the 0.5 lens is great for keeping shadows off the cyc.

This was awesome.  I highly recommend anyone to do Jamie's workshops.

@Lanz,

damn, I didn't get a notification that you sent me this message on the forum, so I missed it entirely in the rush to the show.  Did you come?  Sorry, sorry, Eric

Yeah I don't know whats up with it. It worked for a while but has since stopped.

I should say we do push quite hard. You will cover a lot of ground in this intensive approach. There is a list of topics at the sign up page.  You will also learn how to connect a kinect camera to Isadora. Cheers! jamie

Hello Forum

STEIM in Amsterdam is an arts organisation that has been hacking music and technology since the late 1960's. In June they are running a 3 day Isadora workshop intensive with Pro-Isadora user jamie griffiths (aka _primaldivine_ on the izzy forum). The Isadora intensive is followed by an optional two day wireless sensor workshop with Marije Baalman, the designer of the Sense/Stage sensor system, and STEIM's resident head technician and hardware designer.  The Sense/Stage system takes advantage of some Arduino hardwares, but Marije has developed custom software.   Here is the link http://steim.org/2013/04/registrations-open-interactive-technology-workshops/ Hope to see you there! cheers jamie


Further to my previous message regards the Can You Hear Me I Can See You exhibition, please check out the installation itself:

[SKYPE ADVICE PORTAL](http://smeech.co.uk/skype-advice-portal/) simply follow the instructions to make a video call to the installation, and leave your 20 seconds of advice, on anything, to anyone, at anytime.  The installation uses Izzy to detect incoming calls, send a video in return, and capture the incoming video stream. It also displays recorded message on a loop in the FACT gallery. 

cheers Graham! Its up and running and now - was bug checking each night last week using Logmein - what a great tool! (especially when your machine is sealed in a box!)

had a great private view yesterday for the old folks who took part in the project. The Skype Portal seemed to be working well. I'll post some more pics later.
