Today GOTO10 releases the first official version of pure:dyne!

:: PURE:DYNE – EXTENDED PLAY
In this world of parallel dynes, pure:dyne has been created to provide a complete and ready made environment for artists and developers who are looking for a system dedicated to real time audio and video
processing.

http://puredyne.goto10.org

The dyne:II project provides tools and an optimized platform to try out and work on a large range of applications. The pure:dyne customization by goto10 comes with optimized and tested software such as supercollider, icecast, csound, packet forth, fluxus and much more, including of course pure data and a great collection of essential externals and abstractions (PDP, PiDiP, Gem, GridFlow, RRadical, PixelTango …). Thanks to the dyne:II compatibility all the Home Studio “classics” have not been forgotten (Ardour, LADSPA, seq24, Rezound …) and numerous essential graphics software are also bundled (Inkscape, Gimp, Blender …). more

CALL FOR PROJECTS – performances, installations and lectures

This years piksel festival (12 – 15 October 2006, Bergen, Norway) hosts a fantastic group of artists and programmers. 4 days of workshops, performances and presentations and an exhibition on the exploration of audiovisual code, FLOSS and open hardware.

A fantastic addition to the festival is the xxxxx seminar on open hardware, the 13th and 14th of October, with as guests: Wilfried Hou Je Bek, Martin Howse, Jonathan Kemp, Aymeric Mansoux, Bruno Marchal, Otto Roessler, Tom Schouten, Marloes de Valk, Eva Verhoeven, and Valentina Vuksic.

This year Piksel hosts a wide variety of GOTO10 projects: the workshop “Go Forth!” on how to build a cheap synth from scratch using CAT/PURRR, presentations on Desire Data, pure:dyne, make art festival, and metabiosis and performances of Tom Schouten (sheepsint), Aymeric Mansoux (EtHerz, sheepsint and 0xa), Jan-Kees van Kampen (bl0bj0b with Fokke de Jong), Chun Lee (0xa), Marloes de Valk (d_u_w and sheepsint).

From the 9th of September to the 2nd of December, Folly and GOTO10 are organizing 5 one day workshops for the Grow Your Own Media Lab project. The workshops are a collaboration between GOTO10, openlab, dyne.org and Folly.

Grow Your Own Media Lab is a trans-regional action research project that aims to investigate, improve and document a low cost, participatory, open source media lab model.

The workshops take place at The Canteen, based in Northern Riviera in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria.

• Session 1: The introduction to dyne11 and puredyne, 9th September 2006 – Jaromil & Aymeric Mansoux
• Session 2: Realtime audiovisuals (Puredata/Gem), 30th September 2006 - Marloes de Valk
• Session 3: Realtime animation workshop (Fluxus), 21st October 2006 - Dave Griffiths
• Session 4: Building networked games with SVS, 11th November 2006 – Simon Yuill
• Session 5: Home Studio (jack, ardour, weq24, hydrogen, wired…), 2nd December 2006 - Antonios Galanopoulos & Chun Lee

Go forth! script realtime graphics & build your own lofi 8bit synthesizer

Go forth! is a 2 day workshop in which you will build your own mini lofi synthesizer using a PIC chip. Because fresh tunes simply taste better with some eye candy, we’ll also teach you how to make realtime graphics. If your heart starts beating faster every time you hear the fabulous 8bit sounds of the gameboy classic or atari, this workshop is for you. The first day we’ll introduce you to scripting realtime graphics. You’ll learn how to create complex visuals using only a few lines of code. The second day is all about PIC chips. Using cheap small components, you’ll build your own tiny synthesizer. Visuals and 8bit sound meet each other at the happy end of the workshop.

You’ll go home with a pure:dyne live cd, containing all the software used in the workshop (and much much more). Go Forth! is based on 100% FLOSS (Free Libre Open Source Software).

GOTO10 at SPACE MEDIA ARTS

A two week boot camp dedicated to free software and open hardware in the field of media art.

Pure Data is a free and open source real-time graphical programming environment used by artists to create a range of visual arts, theatre, dance, audio, installation, performance and media art works.

Pure Data is ideal for those looking to integrate technology into their work for the first time, or advanced media artists looking to explore new tools and new ways to combine them in a unified environment. It is easy to use Pure Data to create interactive environments, link animations and sound, control hardware and electronics, stream audio, generate real time visuals and develop interfaces for other programs. more

xxxxx at the Jelliedeel Mediashed

ap, Mongrel and GOTO10 at the Jelliedeel Mediashed, Southend
March 18th 12.00pm

As part of the xxxxx series of exploratory events ap, Mongrel and friends present an experimental one day workshop and evening performance event examining varying approaches to data bending and free software noise.

25th of March, 2006 @ SPACE studios
129 – 131 Mare Street, Hackney, London

Chun Lee and Antonios Galanopoulos will be teaching a one day workshop on RFID and Pure Data. The workshop was part of a longer course in which participants participants experimented with the technology hands-on and imagined what they could do with it in art, industry and play.

Friday 24th of March 2006, 18.00 o’clock @ The Whitechapel Centre, 85 Myrdle Street, London, E1 1HQ

An evening dedicated to the Launch of pure:dyne, at MUTE, London. The launch is part of node london, a festival that aims to illustrate creative and experimental uses of communication media and technological innovation to express ideas and stimulate action in public.

The presentation wil address topics such as nomad strategies for digital artists (real life example of pure:dyne use), the community around pure:dyne (irc, mailing list) and the infiltration of FLOSS and dynes in university courses.

About pure:dyne
pure:dyne brings you the latest exotic FLOSS (Free/Libre/Open-Source Software such as Supercollider, Icecast, Csound, Packet Forth, Fluxus and much much more, including of course Pure Data and a great collection of essential externals and abstractions (PDP, PiDiP, Gem, GridFlow, RRadical, PixelTango …) which was the original motivation of this project.
