It was about 7 months ago that we had our first workshop &#8211; which was open to Wits students\/staff and outsiders alike &#8211; where <a href=\"http:\/\/lazy-r.com\/\">Ralph Borland<\/a> flew up from Cape Town to facilitate building ADC boxes, for everyone to make sensors speak serially to their computers.  Since then, Christo &#8211; head of digital media at Wits &#8211; has organized 2 sound workshops, a stop-frame animation workshop, and now this workshop I&#8217;m leading, as an introduction to Jitter. We&#8217;ve got about 13 people signed up, and the first night showed some pretty excited cats.  I&#8217;ll post some pix of the first hands-on day, tomorrow (er, today; having trouble sleeping).<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nathanielstern.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/bag_factory.jpg?resize=505%2C188\" alt=\"bag_factory.jpg\" width=\"505\" height=\"188\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And finally, above left we&#8217;ve got (clockwise from bottom left) Andrew &#8211; who has got the best print studio in Joburg, where this picture was taken &#8211; Ann Marie and Dora (I&#8217;m leaving out surnames cuz I can&#8217;t remember all of them, and I&#8217;m nothing if not consistent).  Those two ladies are the current, international artists in residence at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artshost.org\/bagfactory\/\">the bag factory<\/a> (from England and Brazil, respectively); they&#8217;ve been holding workshops with local artists for the last few months, and will have an exhibition opening this Wednesday at the bag.<\/p>\n<p>Last night, they did a screening of Cindy Sherman&#8217;s <i>Office Killer<\/i>, starring Carol Kane, Molly Ringwald and Jeanne Tripplehorn (Molly on the right; sooooo 16 candles).  It&#8217;s a purposefully B-grade cheezball film with so many Ed Wood (etc) references it hurt.  Circa 1994, and hilarious &#8211; I think it may have been the best film ever.
