MAX is a realtime control programming environment originally designed to coordinate MIDI-based instruments. It now has become a standard authoring and control system for interactive aural and visual environments, and as such is a convenient vehicle for experiments with time-based media in physical environments.

MSP is an extension of MAX to perform digital signal processing on data at audio rates. Jitter is an extension of MAX that performs realtime video and some OpenGL 3D graphics transformations. MAX, MSP and Jitter under Macintosh OS, and Windows (beta). PD is a more limited public domain analogue of MAX, written for UNIX and offhandedly for Windows. Other media authoring environments such as Java, Director, Flash or mTropolis are fine as long as the source can be read and executed by peers and instructor. As for physical media, we will rely on what tools and material are appropriate to the projects, and can be found ready to hand or can be easily manipulated on-site without access to studio facilities.
MakingThings has created the TELEO toolkit for analog/digital control of motors, lights and sensors. TELEO may be most useful for students creating kinetic art, interactive installations.
The Topological Media Lab has created a set of realtime, time-based media instruments using custom sensors, TinyOS, LINUX operating systems and Max/MSP/Jitter authoring environments. We'll introduce some of these tangible and responsive media for dissection and reconstruction in class projects.
