Workshop by Benjamin Gaulon (Recyclismâ„¢), Lourens Rozema (Blue Melon), with the support of Tim Redfern (Eclectronics) for the Dublin Art and Technology Association the February 2nd-3rd at the Moxie Studio Dublin.
Summary:
Moore’s law dictates that the complexity of computer chips doubles each 18 months. This causes a rapid decrease in the value of existing electronics. Thus, the dark side of technological progress is the production of endless amounts of electronic waste: e-waste. Although the economic value of obsolete electronics approaches zero, the electronic components themselves can still be useful in other contexts.
Our workshops offer the participants to become familiar with basic hardware and software design while at the same time gaining hands-on experience making an interactive art project. The workshops are open to participants of different backgrounds and no programming or electronic skills are required. The idea is to start from scratch and create a complete project over a weekend, including concept, design, electronics/ interfacing, and functional programming with Max/Msp, Pure Data or Processing.
