For Talking to Machines 2.0 the aim will be to solidify and further develop what we have covered in the first workshop by discovering the powerful advantages of DSP programing. We will also focus on applying theses new methods to personal, in-class projects. This workshop is also open to individuals who have not taken Talking to Machines 1.0 provided that they already possess an underlying understanding of MaxMSP/Jitter.
The workshop will be given in French by a bilingual instructor.

- Using poly~ for voice allocation;
- Using Jitter objects to parse data from the Internet.

- For personal projects, participants are free to use Arduino and the material (patches) covered in the first workshop, though I will not expand on the topic as Arduino and electronics are vast enough to cover an entire, separate workshop.
