In April 2013 I taught one week of the Information Visualization Design course at Media Lab Helsinki (Aalto University, ARTS), dedicated to Augmented Reality. Students developed their projects using the FLARToolkit, with some customizations by me. More on the course (and FLARToolkit): http://mlab.taik.fi/mediacode/c/courses-projects/ivd2013
The 2 day “AVVX – Visual Music with Vector Graphics” workshop took place at Aalto FabLab, Helsinki, as part of the CCLV – Creative Coding for Live Visuals event – organised by PixelAche/AAVE Festival, 10-11 April 2013. During the workshop, we discussed visual music; participants were introduced to the AVVX app; and prepared visuals for the software.
As per suggestion of the organisers, the sound source for the visualisations would come from one single musician/group. I proposed music by my project Baltic Diving Co (SoundCloud link), with Joel Tammik.
On the 3rd day, 13/April, we had a final performance at Sandro Bar, Helsinki.
AVVX app (free, open source) available at www.avvx.org.
Thank you to course participants, AAVE and PixelAche (in particular Irina Spicaka).

Between 2010 and 2014, I was teaching Software Studies for Media Designers course at Aalto Media Lab, with Markku Reunanen. From 2011, the focus was on HTML5 Canvas with JavaScript and Processing. The objective of this course was to teach the basics of programming to an audience of designers and artists.
If you’re interested in HTML5 and JS in particular, you can check out my tutorials here (updated in 2012): http://webmediadev.wordpress.com/
For Processing, you can check my exercises at OpenProcessing: https://openprocessing.org/user/35357/?o=15&view=sketches
Between October and December 2012, I taught the Crossmedia Project Management course at the Crossmedia Production MA of the Baltic Film and Media School, Tallinn.

The workshop intends to bring awareness to the interconnections between the different senses, namely between sight and hearing. Specially developed software, free and open-source, will be used (www.avvx.org). The software analyses audio in real-time, and manipulates visuals according to that analysis.
Participants will develop the visuals during the workshop, and will propose sounds to be used together with those visuals. The visuals are built using static 2D graphics, using any vector graphics software (for example, Adobe Illustrator). Participants should bring their computers and vector graphics software.
There will be a final performance, combining and sonic and visual outcomes of the workshop, via the special software.
The proposed duration of the workshop is of 3 days (approximately 20 hours in total). It can be organized in 3-5 days. For example:
Technical notes:
The 3 day “AVVX – Visual Music with Vector Graphics” workshop took place at Marmelada 2 / Independent Biennial in Ljubljana, Slovenia, June 2012. We discussed visual music; participants were introduced to the AVVX app; and prepared audio and visuals for the software. They played with the code, and explored other software. On the 3rd day (4/June), we had a showcase @ Kino Siska, Ljubljana. Eight days later (12/June), we had another showcase @ Krizanke, an old monastery in the center of Ljubljana, as part of the UF! Festival.
The following video collects several lo-fi recordings captured at the first showcase, and reflects a large variety of music and visual styles:
The next video focuses on the second showcase, with several interviews:
