A multi-day workshop exploring small electronics, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, motors, sensors, solenoids, and other components to build an interactive sound sculpture that reacts to the visitor.
- the art piece as an interface
- interactivity and its impact on a visitor
- using concepts of game theory in art installations
- easy electronics
- programming of small microprocessors
- sensors
- etc.
This workshop requires the infrastructure of a maker space, including tools, soldering irons, and access to materials.
It cannot be taught online.
Using Arduino and other small processor boards like Raspberry Pi or UNO, we explore sound generators and resonators, along with sensors that interpret data from potential visitors interacting with the object.
