Matthew Lewis, a professor using Max, talks about the various ways that Max can be applied to both the professional world and to the teaching world. Several of the things that he talks about, such as the ability to get near instantaneous results when working with the program, are the sort of thing that Max excels at.
Two of the projects struck me as very interesting in particular. The first project Lewis talks about is one that he created in order to randomly generate logos. Since I am and have been interested in graphic design for years, I find it fascinating that it is possible to use Max to help you with the preliminary sketching stage in identity creation. It definitely seems like an easy way to mess around with ideas without going through some long, drawn out process.
The second project that interested me was one of his student's, where the student's movements controlled sounds being produced. This, which is similar in nature to the Messa di Voce performances we viewed previously, is an aspect of Max that truly interests me. I look forward to figuring out how to create this sort of physical interaction with the program.
