The Ultimate Intro to Arduino Workshop Series. 3 Parts!
NOTE: This is a 3-part workshop, taking place on Thursdays June 13th, 20th, & 27th.
If you've seen a piece of interactive, robotic, or electronic art recently that made you say "How'd they do that?" there's a pretty good chance that the answer is: "Arduino." This tool is proving to be endlessly versatile as it inspires growing numbers of artists, hobbyists, and makers to take on interactive projects.

Retro-Death Telegraphy: Part of the 2013 Subtle Technologies Festival
NOTE: You can only register for this workshop from the Subtle Technologies EventBrite Page! Click here and scroll down to the ticket option that says "Pre-Festival Workshop". Sorry for the runaround.
…an experimental laboratory for the construction of equipment to test theories of communication with the Unknown
We have actually touched the borderland where matter and force seem to merge into one another, the shadowy realm between the Known and the Unknown which for me has always had peculiar temptations.

Sound Art in Pure Data
In our second Pure Data workshop, we'll apply what we picked up in the first session to sound: recording it, playing it back and making it do strange and unpredictable things. We'll explore effects like delays and distortion, we'll speed sound up, slow it down and make it go backwards, and we'll think about it musically, building a basic sequencer.

Interactive Video in Pure Data
About the workshop:
In one afternoon, you'll learn how to make interactive, sound-responsive video using a totally free visual programming environment called Pure Data.
Pure Data, also known as Pd, is an open source graphical programming environment. It is frequently used by artists and musicians to create custom digital sythesizers, images that respond to sound and other inputs, or to interface with hardware such as Arduino and midi keyboards.

Electronics Fabrication
Getting your project working in the lab is only the first step! We’ll show you how to build it to survive, and to look good while doing it. Topics include:
How to solder.
How to choose appropriate wire and cable for your project, and techniques for wiring, including splicing and cable management.
How to use materials such as heat-shrink tubing to make your project safer and more reliable.
How to work with printed circuit boards-installing AND removing components, and how to mount the board itself.
