Max MSP

Max has proven to be a highly sophisticated programming tool. It has various and almost unlimited uses. Some artists use Max in their own unique way. One of these is David Tinapple. David Tinapple believes that we think with our eyes. He uses Max to manipulate video to create a different type of movement. He believes that perception is about the movement of images.

"It's not necessarily the image you get from one vantage point, it's the difference in images you get from two vantage points."

From this he dives further into observing human gestures. He took from the Bush/Kerry debate only gasps and breathes before/in between speaking. I believed this to be an interesting, but elementary composition.
Barney Haynes is an artist who works with robotic machines. He uses Max to write programs for his machines. I did stuff like that in high school with motion sensors, and motors. His work reminds me of a more sophisticated version of what I used to do using Max.
Composer Ali Momeni uses Max to play music. He used a generic USB device to play the music. Max MSP is used to manipulate, analyze, and control the sound.
These three artists have proven the versatility of Max MSP.
