This workshop is intended to introduce artists and programmers to using
Max/Jitter for interactivity programming, especially using computer vision.
Emphasizing tools for self-teaching, this workshop is geared toward
beginners but has much to offer experienced programmers. The workshop is
presented by Mary Franck, a new media artist, who will be presenting her own
work as examples.
