[Frameworks] Make It Til You Break It: DIY Sound & Video Manipulation Workshops and Performance, NYC

[Shona Masarin]

Hello Frameworkers,

I'm organizing a hands-on workshop series and performance evening focusing on the creation of hybrid audio/visual artworks. 
This series explores the tools and techniques involved in the creation of  installations, interactive environments, and film/video/sound performance. Emphasis will be placed on tactile interaction and manipulation, and the experimental use (or mis-use) of common technology and re-purposed equipment.
This beginner’s course is suitable for anyone who has ever wanted to hack their projector, TV, or game controller, but didn’t know where to start. The series will consist of 3 classes and a performance evening covering a variety of common and accessible techniques including Open Source Programming, Arduino, Circuit Bending, and working with interfaces.

Workshops cost $5 each!!! (BYO computer & Arduino, check the link below for tech requirements).

Entry: $5 -or free if you register for all three workshops
Workshop 1 – Circuit Bending and Arduinos 
Instructor: Peter Edwards
Date & Time: Saturday, June 29th – 2pm
Materials Fee: $5
Introduction to circuit bending with Arduino. This workshop will demonstrate to students how to hack simple circuits and re-purpose children’s toys in the name of sound. In addition to bringing your laptop and Arduino, please bring a dollar store children’s toy to be modified. The device must be battery operated and generate sound.

Workshop 2 – Programming in Pure Data
Instructor: Sofy Yuditskaya
Date & Time: Saturday, July 13th – 2pm
Materials Fee: $5
Introduction to the open source programming language Pure Data. The workshop will focus on working with sound and video.

Workshop 3 – Interacting with Arduinos and Pure Data
Instructor: Merche Blasco
Date & Time: Saturday, July 20th – 2pm
Materials Fee: $5
This class will provide an introduction to basic electronic sensors as we explore the possibilities for interaction between Arduino and Pure Data.


Thanks! Hope to see you there!
