Field Research 

We are currently doing a bit of exploration of Marc Downie's software package
Field (slightly more accurately written
(F)ield - I haven't yet found the circled "F" in the tables of HTML Unicode entities). It's a framework for media agents, written in Java but allowing dynamic extension via Python. It's too early to form any strong opinions about it, especially given our comparatively high levels of experience with the other paradigms found in
Max/MSP,
Jitter,
Isadora and
Processing. More later, as they say, with screen shots as soon as we've worked out how to actually draw stuff.
