### Assignments

#### Assignment 1

{% hint style="info" %}
Based on the information provided with brief introduction to the use of MIDI interfaces in session 1:  Experiment and design a simple audiovisual instrument. Use the MIDI-Controller you brought to the course. 
{% endhint %}

#### Assignment 2

{% hint style="info" %}
Create an audiovisual instrument based on fiducials.
{% endhint %}

#### Final project

{% hint style="info" %}
**Design an audiovisual Instrument.**\
The Instrument should allow for expressive play and permit different ways of expression and different modes of output. Again, "Audiovisual instrument" should be understood in a broad sense, as it was in the course. 

Plan a short performance with your instrument of about 2-3 minutes.
{% endhint %}

#### Additional Assignment

{% hint style="info" %}
Prepare a short presentation (\~5–7 minutes) of a project or performance that comprises of an  audiovisual instrument. "Audiovisual instrument" should be understood in a broad sense (think of the examples provided in the first session). 

Analyse the chosen artwork by asking questions such as: what kind of interactions happen generally, what interactions between sound, image, performer and/or environment does the instrument allow for, how is the instrument technically constructed, what are its characteristics as an interface?
