We understand art though our senses, we see, we touch and experience the artwork. In this workshop, we will investigate the spatial dimensions of senses through the use of physical and digital computing. Students will work on an artwork of their choosing to translate it to an interactive piece with integrated electronics. We will examine its sensory qualities, and translate it to an interactive installation-- such as kinetic structures, interactive lighting, or an acoustic installation-- through an iterative making process. They will learn how to use a laser cutter and a 3D printer to materialize their ideas. We will learn how to use Arduino for integrating various sensors, lights and actuators into their physical interactive projects.
Materials and electronics will be provided.
Students will present and exhibit their work in front of invited reviewers.
All courses are welcome.
