[dropbox] [ STEIM ] Announcement Lecture

Drawing outside the Lines

STEIM presents an evening of
Heroic Systems Hacking
with Roelf Toxpeus and Joel Ryan
on Tuesday the 8th of June at 8:30pm

Roelf Toxpeus will share his experience hacking OS X with Forth! This
exotic tongue, once the home of all things real-time and open source in
music, seems to have been consigned to history {though it is still possible
to cold boot any powerPC into a Forth in ROM!}. Rolf finds a heroic roll
for Forth as a way to bypass the  convoluted habits of modern programming
in order to get what we all really want, access to the highly developed
libraries of device access, communications, audio and graphics.

If the issue is how to get a complex machine to do whatever you want
without taking vows in a particular monastic order, then this may give you
courage. White hat hacking like Roelf's, accesses libraries from the bottom
most Darwin/Unix systems frameworks upwards through Carbon(macForths native
level) to any scriptable higher level application. The evening will feature
working examples of painless (ha!) roll-your-own programming for Core
Audio, UDP Sprockets, windowless graphics and OpenGL as a model for
accessing any framework. Plus a particularly apt example of the advantages
of the multi-language approach, a demo of managing superCollider3 in a
gui-less, server only mode.

Roelf Toxpeus is a founder of the Bernard Mandelbrot Conspiracy and a long
time STEIM associate.
