Jitter, Cycling74’s amazing, visually-based, object-oriented, interactive video modular for Max/MSP now has a Windows (XP) Public Beta! Note that you will need Max/MSP to get it to work (not sure if you need a v-dig, or the like, as you do with TTC-Pro MX for Windows), but it will work with demo versions. Also note that the Mac platform still kicks Windows’ ass.
Ha! Apple’s iTunes is now available for Windows machines. Their headline reads: Hell froze over; the best Windows app ever. And, of course, it’s free. It is indeed pretty cool to be able to buy music on the fly…. Movin’ on up!
Did you miss me? My computer bombed, and I’ve been desperately trying to find a new one (well, fix the old one first, which did not work), then get up to speed with work. Am now typing from my new 17″ 1GHz iMac (still want to upgrade the RAM) named luce (as in Irigaray – the laptop was called derrida; notice I speak of him in the past tense). Latest news:stuttering went down very well at the Wits School of Arts launch (hope everyone there got to see Penny Siopis’ and Clive Van den Berg’s work, too), and hektor.net will be seen at the Biennale de Paris 2004 as part of the Remembering – Repressing – Forgetting project.
not too shabby :)
If in Joburg, check out the Colin Richards show at Art on Paper – what a bloody clever man he is…
boy, I have a lot of work to catch up on. More, later.
Decision made. I’m gonna use the merit cash I got for stuttering at The Brett Kebble Art Awards to buy the Max/MSP/Jitter bundle from Cycling ’74. I’ve been wanting to play with this package for years now – since I first encountered it in grad school – but have been too wrapped up in other things (minus cash flow). Where to start? My buddy, Cobi, and I are gonna hit up the wonderful Josh Goldberg’s vision & sound with max class syllabus at Parsons. Gotta love that guy…

Also of note, Max/MSP is now out for Windows, and Jitter seems to have been out for OS X for a while now… I am out of the loop! Cycling ’74
