Max Jitter Interaction Interviews

In these C74 Perspective interviews, Max Jitter is used to construct various forms of interaction through music and education. Matthew Lewis is an art and design professor at Ohio State. He teaches Max Jitter to college students allow play and experimentation in the classroom. Most art and design classes are filled this notion of freedom of expression as well as allowing the artist to receive feedback from their audience. Unlike many design programs, Max Jitter allows the user to modify live video. This is a cool concept that I have never explored before. I was quite fascinated with the Carrie Wilson's: Music Box because she used her movements and body language to change the sound. I agree with Matthew Lewis...Max Jitter is playful and fun.

On the other hand, Jamie Lidell used Max Jitter as a musical instrument. For him, this program is his helping hand or band to his performances. In many ways, he could be considered the DJ from the future. I hardly hear about any DJ's mixing beats and sounds live from musical patch that hasn't already been pre-recorded. He also presents a valid point: the more we play with Max Jitter, the more we learn, and the "finer points come into play." Max Jitter can be a tool to acheive a goal especially for Multimedia individuals.
