Upcoming Workshops @ N.K.

iPhone Development with Chris Jeffs*

Sundays 20, 27 November, 4 December 2011 from 13.00-18.00

So you’ve started developing for the iPhone, experimented with Objective-C
and the user interface and made some apps of your own. Now what? The depths
of the Cocoa Touch framework are so enormous that almost anything is
possible. In this 3 part workshop using the latest iOS 5, we will explore
just a few of these possibilities, the aim being to take away a finished
app at the end of each session. The workshop will have an emphasis on
interactive, creative and fun projects. Each week a topic will be
discussed, some ideas presented and a walkthrough for the basis of the app
will take place. Some code snippets and helper classes are provided, and
from then on it’s up to each participant to use their imagination to
customise the end result.

*Session 1 (20 Nov): Draw*
The course begins with the making a “drawing” app – using the finger on the
screen to make pictures with lines and other shapes, possibly animating
them, and saving the results to the user’s picture library. But this will
be more than just a mini-photoshop! It will allow the user to collaborate
with others nearby, using bluetooth communication.

*Session 2 (27 Nov):* *Camera*
The inclusion of two cameras on recent iOS devices opens up many
possibilities. The app we will make this week goes beyond the obvious to
include pixel manipulation (slit-scanning, action freezing) and alternative
representations of the data (pixellated or raster display.)

*Session 3 (4 Dec): Game*
iOS 5 makes it easier than ever to use OpenGLES, the standard graphics
programming environment for mobile phones. We will be making a simple 2D
game, exploring the topics of collision detection, sound effects and using
the accelerometer, and possibly reusing the bluetooth communication code
from week 1.

The workshop will be given by Chris Jeffs, author of 4 apps on the store
that have been released this year. More info can be found at

IMPORTANT!

*Max 6 Beginners Workshop with Pure -* *Programming with Max – Beginner
workshop *

5 Days/ Monday December 5 – Friday December 9 2011, Mon-Fri 18.00 – 22.30
daily
Max is a programming language based on a graphical interface that connects
sound synthesis, sampling, video and Open GL 3-D graphics, MIDI,
network-communication, sensors and more. Based on a concept similar to
modular synthesizers Max is relatively easy to learn and equally suitable
for both small and complex projects. This workshop will focus on the music
making possibilities of Max but can include working with visuals by wish of
the participants. It will give an introduction to the concept of Max and
show strategies for how to approach and solve problems common to beginners.
No prior knowledge of Max or programming is required.


Read more about Max at *http://cycling74.com/whatismax/*

The workshop will be held in English and German.

Requirements:
* Own Computer (Mac OS X/Windows) IMPORTANT: with an authorised Max (latest
version), or a running Demo (download a 30-Days demo from

http://cycling74.com/downloads/).

* Basic knowledge in computer based music creation
* Headphones
* If possible bring your own MIDI Controller/Keyboard (plus
iPhone/Android-based
Phone, iPad/Android-based Pad, Lemur, wii, joystick,…)

Teacher: Pure has been using Max since the last thirteen years as his main
tool for music creation. As well as being an experienced Max instructor who
has taught in Universities and Media Labs all over Europe since 2001, he is
has also released many albums with such labels as Mego, Crónica and
Staalplaat. More info about him can be found at*:

*Field Effect with Martin Howse
*
January 20, 21, 22 2012!

A three day workshop actively exploring the effects of electromagnetic
fields on living systems; on the human body and the human psyche. The
effects of complex field interactions with such systems, particularly with
the psyche, are largely unknown and open to debate. Field Effect proposes
to obtain first-hand,experimental knowledge of these relations, using DIY
technologies. Experiments already suggest links between low frequency
electromagnetic emissions and experiences of hauntings and UFO sightings.

The first two days will be devoted to the construction of devices to both
generate and measure magnetic fields and to examine the effects of these
fields on living systems (such as plants or moulds), and on the body and
psyche (measuring skin temperature, skin resistance, heartrate). In
parallel, a series of experimental situations will be constructed to
provide insights into the interactions between complex spectral ecologies
(communication technologies such as wireless networks, mobile phone bases,
TV, radio, power lines, motors, all electronic devices) and life.

Participants will learn how to construct simple devices to measure heart
rate and skin resistance, how to interface these to software and
log/interpret results and how to intervene within electromagnetic space. No
previous knowledge of fields required.

*Maximum nr. of participants: 12*
