Creating Interactive Art Installations, Part 1: Introduction to Max 6
In this session:
In the first workshop of the series, we'll learn the basics of manipulating both pre-recorded and live video feeds in real-time. To get there, we'll use the Max 6 programming environment.
Max 6 is a perfect tool for artists learning to create interactive installations, particularly those which use camera or audio input. It's a graphical approach to programming, in which artists create "patches" by visually connecting objects which represent inputs, outputs and functions, rather than typing out lines of code.

Motors Workshop
In the first of two motor workshops, we'll deal with simple motors that don't require complicated circuits to control them: DC motors and AC motors. We'll start by explaining how motors work, how to select the right kind of motor to do the job, and finally, how to mechanically connect the motor to whatever it is you want to move.
Then we'll get our hands dirty, trying out some different motors and mechanical components like gears, cams and couplings.
