Menno is currently starting a company around his Midiator hardware/software device meant to make programming and controlling light shows fun. The device consists of a controller, a touch screen and an embedded PC running a sophisticated Max 5 patch.

The first version has already been used on big festivals such as North Sea Jazz and Sensation. Let’s see what happens when Menno gets his hands on the DMX-controlled LED-lights of The Getaway Café

During the microworkshop sessions, Nenad Popov will show us some of his favorite combinations of effects to achieve organic, textural esthetics using OpenGL+shaders in Jitter.

Ben Terwel is a brilliant young artist studying at the ArtScience interfaculty in The Hague.
