This is PrintBall… a paint ball printer!
It is controlled by a Max/Msp program. A good explanation is found on this website, together with a lot of videos and pictures.
I found this project at creativeapplications.net, but I already knew it from Ars Electronica, since its creator was there with another project.
The stretching of the shoes produces different sounds, which are processed in Max/MSP.
The End of History, this is a documentation of a live performance by Damian Catera. He manipulates historic pieces of Western art music by sampling and utilizing randomization algorithms. Written in MAX/MSP.
I really love this project since it seems to be kind of magical natural stuff but actually the user and the artwork have a highly control-freak relationship.
Floating Forecaster is a project by Richard Harvey which includes a physical display that reinterprets information via hovering patterns and flowing movements. The installation also allows users to create patterns and sequences using either an iPhone app interface (c74) or a custom made MaxMSP sequencing program.
rgb dynamics, is a screen that takes the live feed from a webcam and splits the feed in three layers, cyan, magenta and yellow. Each layer is delayed with different intervals creating a layered dynamic image. Build with max msp jitter.
Phase = Order is an kinetic light installation by Joris Strijbos. It exists of 96 transparent panels which turn around and collectively create beautiful patterns. The sequences of movement are based on algorithms derived from processes in nature. The panels are controlled by Max.
It is a moon-shaped lantern designed byLEAD (Laboratory for Exploratory Art and Design). The control of the light, sound and video was done in Max/Jitter.Each night had a four to six hour show made up of individual fifteen minute segments.
We found a performance instrument called ‘Audiocubes’ triggering a modular syntheziser made by max/msp. Depending on the position of the blocks themselves and the position to each other, the sound is modulated. The cubes are ment as a performance tool, the software behind the cubes is made using max/msp
It’s a project named “Feedback Dance” make by max/msp. Depending on the motion of dancer in front of the detector, a sound as well as a particle image is modulated. I think it’s a reversal of traditional dancing as the traditional way is dancing to the music and visually watching the real dancer.
This is a fun A/V control system. With the help of Kinect, user can control the laser as well as the music just with their motions. Really cool project powered by MAX/MSP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3mEAaduaws
WTPh? (What the Phonics) is a fun project by Momo Miyazaki and Andrew Spitz, tackling the issue of knowing how to pronounce Danish street names. “In true karaoke style, we placed lights above the matching syllable so that in real-time, you can see which part of the word is being spoken. When participants lift the speaker off the wall, it starts playing.”
Noisy Jelly is made up with Arduino and Max/Msp. The user has to create his own jelly figures,and then “whip them” to create sounds. The Jelly’s color indicate the type of sound that it will produce on contact.
In this project Max/MSP is used to convert sensor data from a WiiMote/BioGlove into sound, resulting in a invisible violin. The different notes are triggered using button pushes, the duration of the played samples by moving the invisible bow.
Slingshot controller for Angry Birds game built by Hideaki Matsui and Andrew Spitz. Uses a motorized fader found in audio mix consoles to provide haptic feedback. MaxMSP code is converted to firmata and uploaded unto Arduino compatible microcontroller.
AEOLUS uses face & sound tracking to generate funny graphical environment.
Particles are emitted according at to the sound moving in the direction of face orientation. This project was made by Warren Stringer and Matt Howell at Music Hack Day. Enjoy!!
Dazzled is a project that is created by David Dalmazzo, who is an interactive media artist. In Dazzled, the system generates several random parts that form one big structure. The structure is audiovisual and random sounds are generated by Max. I appreciate the way, the visuals are connected to the sounds.
This piano-strike project is made by Per Ottosson, and is built in Max/Msp/jitter. There’s a LED-matrix that controls the piano so the user can play piano in the air. The user can use his hand gestures to manipulate the pitch.

Skinnerbox is a pattern drum sequencer, based on fm-sound-synthesis. It is made using Max4live, which integrates Max-patches within the ableton digital audio workstation.
“Helping to save the world, one Max patch at a time” is a project by Mikkel Meyer. It is a tool to manage fundraising by an danish NGO through SMS’ for the victims of the 2010 earth quake in Haiti. Max was used to handle the SMS communication and connect to an SQL database containing the data of the doners.
Why did I pick this of all projects out there?
1) It demonstrates that graphical programming languages like Max are not just capable of producing “artsy stuff”, but that they can be used to solve real world problems in other domains just as well.
2) Meyer describes how he is re-using parts of an older work to come up with this new solution in a very short period of time. This is demonstrating the strength of a patch-based system like Max: It is easy to restructure and modify already existing work.
This is a band that uses the Wii remotes and MaxMSP to manipulate instrumental sounds into music. The quality isn’t very good and you don’t get to see the programming in the video, but I think it’s a nice idea to have sensor-based instruments. It captures the idea that through Max, music can be brought anywhere and be created from non-traditional objects.
The Forest Organ is a sound sculpture created by artist Birgitte Kristensen and composer Søren Lyngsø Knudsen specifically for Sculptures by the Sea 2013. The work is at the same time an instrument integrated into the landscape and a sculpture consisting of sound.
A pop up street installation in the streets of new york, from Aaron Sherwood and Kiori Kawai. They use a webcam to capture video a projector to project the manipulated video and two computers. They use Max/Msp for the interaction, visuals and sound.
This installation by David Bowen measures the movement of water from a lake in Alaska and translates this information to a grid of servo motors. To do this he collects data of a buoy station from a far distance and translates this via Max/msp into movements driven by a arduino board. I like how physical movements of nature are translated into a machine driven grid.
Rock Vibe is a Rock Band-like game for blind and sighted gamers. Besides the micro controller code, Max loads all of the levels, handles the music, and sends the signals to the vibrating motors in Rock Vibe’s electronic wearable. All interactions and game levels are also processed using MaxMSP.
A project that gives visitors the power to orchestrate a performance of light and sound across a large public space,by manipulating the incredible array of light and sound using just their body.
The interactive system is programmed with MAX/MSP running on a windows 7 computer.
Uses real-time point-tracking, connecting the points with connections. Really interesting effect, similar to the animated short “Forms” that got the Golden Nica award at ARS Electronica 2013 (http://prix2013.aec.at/prixwinner/9728/). “Forms” has been done in Houdini, which, while in some way similar to Max/MSP/Jitter, does not create realtime animations. It’s nice to see a similar effect working in realtime on – I assume – any kind of video input.
A method of transforming brainwaves into music by Salvo Nostrato. He uses real EEG data to produce music that represents physiological information. He uses both Max/MSP and Processing, analyzing and visualizing the raw data and controlling sound waves: http://salvonostrato.com/01-b-c-s-m-j-p-a
A MAX patch that tracks the position of the hands of the user and maps them to arrow keys thus allowing him/her to navigate through google maps/street view. Its quite simple and effective.
Look at thissssss…
