I’ve been spending most of my waking hours teaching, recently, which is why you haven’t seen any upcoming shows on this site, or much more on the blog. Usually, I like to pull a Clark Kent and keep my day-job and secret pixelist identity separate, but just this one single time I’ll allow my worlds to collide and tell you briefly about the Interactive Media class I taught last term at Coventry University in the UK.

For the ten-week-long class (or “module,” as they’re called) the students had to learn [tag]max/msp/jitter[/tag] and create their own interactive installation for others to use. The results were brilliant, as you can see. Many of the groups got into using the Nintendo [tag]wiimote[/tag]. Check out the video on CovMedia and see for yourself.
