PURE DATA TRIGGER GANG BANG 01

> call for patches

"I said a hip hop,

Hippie to the hippie,

The hip, hip a hop, and you don't stop, a rock it

To the bang bang boogie, say, up jump the boogie,

To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat."

IRCAM Musical assistant, Free Software visionary and poet.

Bots, Ladies and Gentlemen,

For the very first time ever, a Pure-Data friendly demo contest is organized. Everyone is encouraged to participate by submiting original or previous works (as long as they respect the rules of this event). No matter your level of geekness or if you can spell the word art without mistakes.

WE WANT YOUR PATCH.

we don't give a fuck about 1st prize or winners, participate and you work will be published on the website of goto10, a non profit .fr organization dedicated to promote and support digital art events. Last but not least the received patches will be shown in a permanent installation at graz during the pd_convention~04.

FORWARD THIS MAIL TO ANYONE (EVEN NOT INTERESTED)

SUBMIT YOUR WORK UNTIL THE 25th of SEPTEMBER.

READ THE RULES.

ASK FOR SUPPORT.

TEAM UP.

LEARN.

RULES

> respect or burn in hell

• patch type : fully automated/scheduled/generative NO INTERACTIVITY
• content : audio AND video (choose your favourite weapon PDP/PiDiP, Gem, Framestein, GridFlow?). Note: After the joe.pd incident we now accept also patches proposing canvas animations and other weirdo graphical issues :)
• size : patch(es) + extra material must NOT exceed 128kB UNCOMPRESSED !!! (Bytes not bits....)
• externals : ONLY the ones from CVS
• application: anyone can apply, individual and teams AND several times !!!
• net : the use of internet is tolerated as long as you don't use [shell]? to download 300MB of porn files. (mmm? well let's say that one could use [shell]?+some perl to grab stuff from google, but on the other hand it would be forbidden to use [shell]?+wget to grab from your www/ftp all the material you needed for your patch that woud not fit in 128kB).
• CPU/GPU : no real limitations, just consider that if your patch takes 100% of the CPU of your brand new box you just bought to play DoomIII? then you should be aware that some people could have trouble to run your patch.
• OS : use your own.
• theme/style: no theme or style, everything is most welcome from oldskool flexiscolls and soundchip trackers to pure noise abstractions.
• deadline : you can start to send your patch(es) the 1st of september until the 25th of september to gangbang@goto10.org, then all the patches will be published on the PD Trigger Gang Bang section of http://goto10.org
• format : you MUST provide the following informations/ materials with your patch: - name of the pure piece - name of the pure author(s) - description (a few lines) - detailled version of pd and all the externals used. - Operating System and Hardware used for creating the patch - Operating System(s) and Hardware used to test the patch (optionnal) - mail/website - your favourite colour - a screenshot of the visual (jpg mid quality 384*288, crop, rescale we don't mind)
