Wednesday night Feb 4th, 2009 from 7-9 pm @ Sound Arts Recording Studio 520 Hampshire street, suite #206 SF, CA 94110

We are revitalizing the Overlap Salon series with a new event on Feb 4. I’m taking over the reigns, and we are planning what promises to be a a very worthwhile series for users of Cycling 74’s powerful New Media creation software Max/MSP/Jitter to share their projects, help overcome problems, and learn new patching techniques. Everyone is welcome regardless of previous experience, and we will try to cater to all skill levels.

Our salons will be a mix of presentations and ad-hoc discussion, dependent upon what kinds of patches and issues are brought to the table. I will be discussing preset storage using the pattr system; one of the most powerful and perhaps least understood of Max’s object sets. We’ll cover some tips and tricks for integrating preset communication into your patches as unobtrusively as possible.

At this first event we will try to set some itinerary for what people are interested in discussing at future salons, so try to show up and lend your ideas.

Max/MSP/Jitter patches covered in the Salon will also be shared on Overlap.org following the event. All participants are encouraged to bring your their own laptop, and libations. WIFI provided in case I’m boring.

I think this new ongoing Overlap Salon that we are putting on through Overlap.org is going to be nice and fun. If you are into cutting edge music, audio performance, and the technologies related with these, I urge you to come out to this new regular event. Christopher posted more on Overlap.org about this:

This first Overlap Salon event brings together users of Cycling 74′s legendary “build-it-yourself” software universe Max/MSP/Jitter. Cool Max/MSP/Jitter nerds will be able to meet, exchange knowledge, advice, and software patches. Max/MSP/Jitter patches covered in the Salon will also be shared on Overlap.org following the event. All participants are required to bring your their own laptop, beer (if u want) and thinking cap. WIFI provided.

I will bring beer. I wonder if we have any more free beer at Creative Commons actually Anyone interested in coming to this and/or presenting? Let us/me know! If I talk about anything, it will be the anti-max/msp/jitter called PD which I used to hack on back in the UCSD-aze. Also, if you show up, maybe I will talk more about why Lil Wayne is so brilliant and use my Eeepc as an awesome DJ’ing platform.

I’m presenting about Overlap.org, Fabricatorz.com and the soon to be updated Scalejournal.org under the umbrella, “Models of Collaborative Art Production, or Dispelling the Myths of Sole Authorship”.

Tomorrow I’m presenting about, Making Creative Commons Common in Asia: Effectively scaling Creative Commons community and business development strategies internationally in 2008 at ACIA: Asia and Commons in the Information Age at Academia Sinica in Taipei. Come on out if you are in the area! The entire conference will be brilliant. Tyng-Ruey never dissappoints.

Lu posted on here blog here about Taipei Tomorrow! 台北，明天出发！:

We are heading to Taipei tomorrow. In this five days trip, we will attend ACIA (Internationl Workshop on Asia and Commons in the Information Age) 資訊時代之亞洲與公眾創用國際研討會. On Friday night January 18, Jon Phillips, Christopher Adams, Wang Chunyan and I will be hosting Media Exchange 2 at VT Art Salon. Media Exchange 1 took place last winter, with a big group of artists and students lead by our artist friend Huang Xiaopeng in the new mega university town of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts campus. The initiative of the event was to present and discuss projects. Now it’s already one year! So to me it will be an “annual report” on my work.

Here is more information on Media Exchange 2. Sorry it’s a last minute call. But if you are in Taipei. Show up with your friends or your work!
