CNMAT presents a series of summer workshops for students, artists, musicians and anyone interested in learning new software. This year we have completely redesigned our popular beginners and advanced courses to be more immersive. We will also be offering our week-long Jitter course, plus a redesigned workshop for developers wishing to learn how to code Max/MSP externals in C.
On July 1, 2009 CNMAT observed its 20th anniversary. We'll be announcing special events to commemorate the occasion, reflect on our history, and invite our local, national and international communities to be part of CNMAT's next twenty years.
