Intro to Generative Art & Processing
About the workshop.
Processing is a versatile tool frequently used by artists to create screen- and projection-based images and videos capable of responding to live data input (sensors, online information, etcetera). In addition, Processing integrates very well with the Arduino microcontroller, allowing artists’ computer programs to interact with the physical world.
This workshop is designed for those with little or no programming experience.

Sensors Workshop
About the workshop.
The workshop will introduce you to a variety of different sensors. Explain how they work, show the three different types of interfaces to work your sensor and prepare you for using any sensor you would like in the future. This course is designed to show you all the dirty tricks to avoiding the microcontroller to make interactive art, it is also designed to learn to understand when you need a microcontroller to make your projects work.

Intro to Arduino
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.

Workshop: Reactive Works - Audio & Video Control with Arduino and PureData
What's this workshop all about?
Learn a relatively easy way to create reactive video and audio works
that respond to physical sensors such as knobs, switches, and infrared
distance sensors all without having to write any code. In this
workshop we cover how to use a toolkit of hardware and software
(Sensors + Arduino + Firmata + Pduino + Pure Data) together to make
some weird and interesting things. If you want to use your own audio
and video clips in the workshop, get in touch ahead of time and we'll

Designing with Depth: Kinect for the Kinda Non-Mechanical Audience
About the workshop.
The Microsoft Kinect is a camera that sees in 3D. It makes it easy to help your computer make sense of the world.
This workshop will focus on using the Kinect to make your computer-attached projects see better. We'll learn about the basics of installing and using the Kinect (mac only, I'm afraid), some introductory computer vision, and using these tools to make your work see like you, move like you, and even look like you.

Workshop: Arduino & DMX control with David McCallum
About the workshop.
DMX is a communication protocol that has become standard in theatrical lighting and effects control. You know the hardware already: DMX cables are those big fat ones with three or five prongs, and you see them around any concert or theatre set-up.

Workshop: Intro to Analog Robotics with Michael Awad
About the workshop.
This hands-on workshop will teach the basics of robotic components, in theory and in practice. We’ll take apart off-the-shelf devices to identify motors, switches, batteries, and power supplies that make these devices move, and then learn how to re-appropriate them into our own robotic projects. No computers, microcontrollers, or programming necessary.
