The particiants of LAC2008 will experience four days crammed full with presentations of new developments in Linux audio software and how this is used by artists and scientists in concrete projects around the world.
The Soundlab of the Academy is delighted to have Miller S. Puckette from San Diego as a keynote speaker. The inventor of the now commercially sold media production software Max/MSP is now leading development of “Pure Data”, a similar, but free (as in speech and as in beer) environment that in recent years became immensly popular among media and sound artists.
All together about 20 presentations are planned for the LAC. Just one example is a talk that explains the technical background of the much-lauded installation “Movable Type” in the new building of the New York Times, where 280 mini-computers running Linux were used on a wall display. And then 280 more on the opposite wall! Admission to all presentations is free.
