- 10:00-18:00 Iain McCurdy and Ricardo Climent.
This workshop is aimed at those wishing to gain experience working with sensors and finding out about some of the ways in which to interface them to a computer and software.
Participants will be introduced to a variety of sensors (pressure sensors, light sensors, bend sensors, velocity sensors etc.), will be shown how to make many of these from everyday objects.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptop. No prior knowledge or expertise is required just imagination and enthusiasm! All required instruction will be given on the day.
More details about how to enrol for this workshop and cost will be come shortly.
Places are limited.
An emphasis will be placed upon the consideration of musical use of sensors rather than merely offering a technical induction.
Following initial introduction and instruction participants will collaborate to create an interactive sound installation which will be exhibited on the evening of the workshop.
We will be using on the programme Audiomulch which offers a good balance between user-friendliness and usefulness. All necessary instruction in using this software will be given on the day - no prior programming knowledge will be required and the programme can be downloaded for free from www.audiomulch.com.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptop although a limited number of people can be accommodated with a laptop if required (please request in advance). A variety of hardware solutions for interfacing with the computer will be introduced and provided on the day but feel free to bring you own gadget if you like. No prior knowledge or expertise is required just imagination and enthusiasm!
Places are limited. Please book in advance by sending an email to ricardo.climent@cross-disciplinary.org. For more information send email to iain.mccurdy@cross-disciplinary.org.
This workshop will be in English with support offered in German and Spanish.
