Pure Data is an easy to learn data-flow programming language for musicians and artists, especially for interactive multimedia projects. It allows the creation of musical compositions, sound design, instruments, interactive installations, real-time video processing and more.
Its design is inspired by the way early telecommunication switchboards and modules of analogue synthesizers were interconnected by patch cords. Pure Data is free open source software. It runs on Linux, OS X, Windows and even mobile devices.

The workshop will give you the opportunity to choose your curriculum individually from a number of parallel sessions of the best Pure Data instructors and well known community members on a wide range of topics and levels. The evenings will feature concerts and performances and will be free for the workshop participants.

The course language is English.

In custom of the previous conventions we invite you to submit your papers related to the Pure Data programming environment in the fields of computer science, artistic creation and scientific research. The papers will be rated according to academic standards such as novelty and relevance in a peer review process. The Pd community is a heterogeneous group of users, developers, authors, artists, musicians, programmers; often in more than one role at a time.

Papers from widely divergent perspectives are encouraged. Some possible topics could include:

• Libraries and externals extending Pd
• Tools built in or for Pd
• Education
• Spatialisation
• Pd on mobile devices
• Pd embedded in games and applications
• Pd as a framework for audiovisual works

Please check the website for the of terms of submission. Templates for the Papers (LaTeX, Open/LibreOffice) will be provided soon on the conventions home page:

The conference is held in English, thereby the papers have to be in English. The length of a paper should be 4-8 pages, including an abstract (50-100 words) and up to 5 keywords.
