workshop

During the BusinessToButtons conference in Malmo, D. Cuartielles will introduce Physical Prototyping as a technique for interaction designers to create new artifacts. The lecture will be on June 12th at about 13.30 at the main conference hall.

Within the same context, but on Saturday June 14th, the 1scale1 team together with TENK's design group will host a workshop in creating a multiplayer wireless game in only four hours. During the session we will introduce the use of microcontrollers and other digital gadgetry in the production of interactive artifacts and software running in a computer as the main game engine.

Summary

This workshop is an introduction to the development of the controller part of video games design where we focus upon physical inputs and how we can create a game in relation to this input. This will be a three days workshop with D. Cuartielles, T. Olsson, D. Sjunnesson.

Dates: 25th August '08 – 27th August '08

Prices:
- Students 150 Eur + 65 Eur (optional basic kit)
- Professionals 500 Eur + 150 Eur (optional full kit)

Full Description

In recent time game controller design have taken a shift from the traditional push-button controller, to exploring other interaction possibility of a more physical character. This workshop is an introduction to the development of the controller part of video games design where we focus upon physical inputs and how we can create a game in relation to this input.

Summary

This basic workshop will introduce you to the basic use of Arduino. The goal is to provide you with open source tools, introduce you to the creation of your own personal prototyping laboratory. This will be a three days workshop taught by D. Cuartielles with support from the whole 1scale1 Studio joining for the different sessions.

Dates: 18th August '08 – 20th August '08

Prices:
- Students 150 Eur + 65 Eur (optional basic kit)
- Professionals 500 Eur + 150 Eur (optional full kit) 

Full Description

Arduino is a microcontroller platform broadly used in the fields of art and design. It is used in creating all kinds of interactive artifacts, art installations, and prototypes.

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.

Summary

This advanced workshop will guide you into making your own Arduino compatible boards, program them, and manufacture them in small size series. You will be introduced to contemporary hardware design techniques what will allow you designing your own boards, shields for Arduino, etc. You will also get introduced to possible ways of making your homebrew board to be part of the Arduino IDE. This two days course will be taught by D. Cuartielles with assistance from the 1scale1 team.

Prices:
- Students 250 Eur (materials included)
- Professionals 750 Eur (materials included)

Summary

The aim of the workshop is also to give the participants knowledge on how to effectively use ReactiVision to produce interactive art pieces. We will be using Processing together with ReactiVision to explore new ways of producing art installations. This three days workshop will be taught by F. LBarrajon, A. Goransson and T. Olsson.

The main focus of the workshop will be on the practical side, rather than having a long lecture or technical abstract information. The workshop makes use of Free/Open Source Software. All the material used during the workshop will be available on-line under an open content license.

Summary

Processing will be used as a way to create and prototype different ideas from an artistic perspective. Using Processing as programming language we are going to create three different types of artificial life forms that will co-exist on the screen. This three days workshop will be taught by F. LBarrajon, A. Goransson and will count with a special guest to be confirmed. 

Dates: 25th August '08 – 27th August '08

Prices:
- Students 150 Eur + 65 Eur (optional basic kit)

Full Description

In this workshop the participants are going to be able to understand and write programming source code. The language of Processing will be used as a way to create and prototype different ideas from an artistic perspective. Using Processing as a IDE-plattform we are going to create artificial life forms.

Summary

Processing is a programming language and integrated development environment for the computer arts and visual design communities.This workshop will work well as an introduction to the other processing-oriented workshops held by 1scale1. This two days workshop will be taught by F. LBarrajon and A. Goransson.

NO PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE IN PROGRAMMING NEEDED

Dates: 18th August '08 – 19th August '08

Prices:
- Students 100 Eur (everything included)
- Professionals 330 Eur (everything included)

Full Description

The past few years programming have evolved from a low-level language that is difficult to understand to a high-level language that anyone can relate to.

Processing is a large part of this development, aiming to give individuals without a programming background a easy introduction to programming with instant visual gratification.

Processing is a programming language and integrated development environment for the computer arts and visual design communities.

Summary

The theme for this workshop is displays where we focus on the construction of displays out of alternative materials like electromagnets and thermosensitive ink. The purpose is to introduce the participants to a different way of thinking about materials and how they are normally used. This is a two days workshop by T. Olsson and D. Sjunnesson, assisted by D. Cuartielles. 

Dates: 21st August '08 – 22nd August '08

Prices:
- Students 185 Eur (materials kit included)
- Professionals 485 Eur (materials kit included)

The theme for this workshop is displays where we focus on the construction of displays out of alternative materials like electromagnets and thermosensitive ink. The purpose is to introduce the participants to a different way of thinking about materials and how they are normally used. Each attendant will create a display out of materials that are meant for something else. Participants will be able to choose between constructing a display out of sand or fabrics.

Summary

It is also possible to subscribe to two full weeks of workshops of your choice. You can decide which one of the workshops you will attend a-la-carte and will receive all the materials for all the workshops.
