about
the course
The course is aimed at providing the necessary background and expertise for developing software applications supporting and enhancing artistic and creative performances, installations, etc. The course covers multi-modal applications, with particular emphasis on music production and performance.
The first part of the course is devoted to developing methodologies for developing software devoted to multimodal interactive applications, involving various platforms of interest (e.g. EyesWeb, Supercollider, Processing, Openframework, ) based on a wide range of multimodal sensors (cameras, microphone arrays, Z-cameras, bio-sensors, motion sensors, etc.).
In the second part of the course, specific collaborative projects are developed in class and part of the classes is offered with innovative didactic modalities (e.g. "flipped classroom").
teachers
Massimiliano Zanoni - Lecturer
He received my PhD degree in 2013 at the Politecnico di Milano University. For several years he was in charge of the coordination of the Music Information Retrieval section of the ISPL group at the Politecnico di Milano (Italy). He was involved in the EU-founded project WholoDance (http://www.wholodance.eu) exploring the use of high-end technology (Mocap, VR/AR, Deep Learning, Interaction Design, Joint Music-Dance analysis) into dance practice.
As creative technologist he is involved in research projects in the academia and in the creative industry. His main research interests include Creative Computing, Experience Design and Music Information Retrieval, with a particular focus on Artificial Intelligence. He is currently Creative Director and Interaction Designer at the O3lab, an artistic collective he co-founded in 2017.
Marco Paracchini- Teaching assistant
He obtained a Master’s degree in Mathematical Engineering in 2014 and a PhD in Information Technology in 2020 both from Politecnico di Milano. He worked on many topics related to signal processing, computer vision and machine learning including: SLAM, visual search, rPPG, tomography and eye tracking. He was part of two H2020 European projects and he collaborated with many companies such as STMicroelectronics, General Motors, Univision and Xnext.
He is currently involved in a Politecnico and Luxottica joint project developing eye tracking and SLAM for smart eyewear.
Luca Comanducci - Teaching assistant
He received the B.S. degree in Music Information Science from the University of Milan, Milan, Italy, in 2014 and the M.S. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, in 2018, where he is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in information engineering within the Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione and Bioingegneria.
His main research interests concern the application of Deep Learning techniques to space-time audio signal problems and the development of techniques for Networked Music Performances.He has been involved as a researcher for the INTERMusic project and as a teaching assistant in the courses of Musical Acoustics and Creative Programming and Computing of the M.Sc. in Music and Acoustic Engineering.
