Workshops

This workshop, led by Maziar Ghaderi, is intended for artists interested in working with videos and projections for art installations of any size.

In this workshop, you will learn the basics of electricity starting with Ohm’s Law, work your way up to building simple digital circuits with CMOS chips, transistors and LEDs, then learn how to interface these circuits with motors, sensors and other devices.

In this workshop, we’ll explain some basic principles of mechanics, then go on to explain how different types of motors work.

In this workshop, Dustin Wilson will introduce Delta City; a procedurally generated digital construct and model control structure for housing post-singularity consciousness. Following the presentation, we will continue the conversation as we use the Unity3D game design engine in an attempt to build autonomous simulated universes.

Learn to synthesize sounds and compose music using the Nintendo Game Boy.

Learn to hack an analog guitar pedal and control its effects with an Arduino microcontroller and ultrasonic sensor.

This workshop will provide the opportunity for participants to work with a number of naturally inspired algorithms, they will then be guided through how to develop and artistically re-purpose these simple systems creating intricate and individually unique generative works of art.

In this workshop, you’ll get an introduction to Bela, a platform for ultra-low latency audio and sensor processing. You’ll get to know Bela, become familiar with what’s involved in real-time digital signal processing, and discover how to use Pure Data with Bela to control sensors and make sounds.

This two part course will be part lecture part workshop on neural networks and other techniques for making images with code.

This is an introductory, yet in depth workshop the process of 3D Scanning and Printing.

In this three-part series, participants will be introduced to creative coding, circuit construction, sensors and actuators. Whether you are interested in robotics, sound, light art, or just plain old tinkering, these workshops are a great place to develop your artistic ideas and build working prototypes.

Why shoot, render and upload videos when you can use code to animate shapes and text ON YOUR WEBPAGE? This workshop provides an introductory run through of the famous Three.js graphical library and if there is time--other popular libraries that coders work with.

In this interactive workshop we will cover the basics of the Processing environment and work towards building a first interactive animation.

Through this workshop, you will have the components and skills to assemble a lighting controller, powered by Arduino, Ableton Live or any MIDI controller connected to your computer.

Make your own DIY sound synthesizer! Learn about the 555 chip, practice your soldering and circuit building skills, and make some old school sounds with the Atari Punk Console!

The first in IA's new "Social in the Studio" series, Michelle Kasprzak's session in the studio will investigate a Pop Art hero, pizza, and glitchy 3D models.

In this workshop participants will be introduced to the basics of creating an Augmented Reality experience using the Unity plug-in Vuforia and begin the process of creating their own AR prototype.

Using Gamemaker software, participants will learn how to make simple games and explore game mechanics like collisions. This workshop aims to create a safe learning space for individuals who identify as women, transgender, or a member of a Gender and Sexual Minority, to creatively explore game making software.

This workshop will introduce you to creative electronic music live through simple programming techniques using a mix of sound synthesis and digital sampling.
