EDIT: regarding tomorrow’s cancelled class, this would be a great opportunity to get together in the morning and do some work.
Priorities:
- finish documentation for live @ 11 ASAP
- complete node implementation of mediaIdentity 8 days left
- finish node documentation for Dec
Next week should focus purely on getting these things done.

I’ve started a powerpoint with some our existing designs from the website. Check out the following docs so we can discuss the necessary next steps for the presentation on Nov 6!
This is worth 10% of our final mark!

Live @ 11 Documentation Overview
Posted on October 30th, 2006 by Peter Horvath.
Categories: School Logistics, Live @ 11.
The first question that needs to be addressed is what we want the documention to communicate. We want to make the themes to be self-evident insofar that they capture the essence of the physical installation. The installation manifests a strong relationship to the individual that is analagous in giving the user a sense of control within the documentation itself.
The DVD will present an alternative viewing experience by combining video footage and overlay menus. The viewer will be able to access infromation at will via semi-transparent buttons overlayed ontop of recorded footage of the piece in it’s interactive environment. The controls will allow a viewer to experience the quiessence of the installation, while accessing deeper levels of meaning through the links.
Categories:
- Conceptual; Body Politic
- Functional; practical integration
- Experience; user response/interaction
- Epilogue; conclsuive narrative
The ISO will be available via download from a Flash Media site and will include the documentation in its entirety. The Flash site however, will be a more general overview rather than a meticulous interactive document.
What’s next?

Live @ 11 in 1 Week!
Today in class we attempted to map the waveform form our synth onto the audio coming form our video footage. We want to use the sythn’s waveform to distort our CNN soundscape.
- We first attempted to use the SnapShot object to take slices from our synth and convert the waveform slices into useable values; this was unsuccesfull (although Steve’s version worked on his system).
- After searching cycling74, we think that jit.catch~ object is exactly what we need, but for some reason it is not on any of the systems in the lab - it may be that we do not have the latest version.
- We then found the spigout~ object; that basically extracts the audio from a clip.
- all we need to do then (thanks to Steve) is use an addidtion statement to merge the two waveforms together.
- however, we could not get spigout~ to work.
What’s next?
- Perhaps we should make another post to the cycling74 forum, and ask some questions about our patch - like why spigout~ is not working
- still need to add jit.tap.delay~ to our patch
- get our hands on that video adapter
- test on location
- discuss our documentation
Adding a Delay…

I think we should add tap.tools delay to our Patch. It should be used to delay both the audio and the video by just a tiny bit. This will help identify the user with the piece upon their first interaction.
Any suggestions?

Now we can take it to the next level boys
mediaIdentity 8.5 RC2
Posted on October 18th, 2006 by Peter Horvath.
Categories: Live @ 11, Max/MSP/Jitter.
mediaIdentity 8.5 RC2: The patch has been updated and is now available as the second Release Candidate.
It addresses relationships between unique media sources to create meaning and achieve a sense of identity:
- webcam capture as alpha source
- read single movie clip
- read multiple clips from a media folder
- blends clips together based on webcam alphablend
- cuts between multiple clips occur at pace of user interaction
- sound is generated and filtered through a vocodor
- overall sound texture mimics tv static with a bassline
