Workshops

This hands-on training session will introduce members to the woodshop tools available in the InterAccess studio.

Build community-controlled AI tools! Learn local language models, collaborate on creative applications, and design alternatives to Big Tech data extraction.

Create an immersive, location-responsive sound walk using online platform Echoes.xyz.

Explore powerful tools for real-time collaboration across distance. Through hands-on networking experiments, learn how to connect your device and creative software directly to other artists.

This hands-on training session will introduce members to the milling machine and lathe available in the InterAccess studio.

An exploration of new biodegradable materials that transform everyday discards into 3D printable pastes.

Create visuals that respond to audio in real time, for interactive art and live performance, in hydra—a free browser-based video synth and live coding environment.

This hands-on training session will introduce members to the electronics available in the InterAccess studio.

Learn the basics of face tracking, feedback loops, and mechanical actuation using MediaPipe and Arduino to build a mini sculpture that turns to follow you.

In this workshop you will be introduced to 3D modelling using 123D software, and learn the design rules for 3D printing, how to prepare your files, choose filaments, and set up the 3D printer to print (you'll print, too!).

In these workshops, you will learn basic approaches and techniques used to create interactive and generative sonic experiences.

Learn how to approach electronics projects from a graphical flow programming approach. Connect switches and sensors to Audio and Video, or control output like LED's based off of audio and video events!

In this workshop, you will learn to use Bluetooth and Arduino (in the form of the LightBlue Bean) as well as various body sensors to create generative designs through collaborative performance.

In this workshop, we will learn the ins and outs of the Max 7 programming environment as well as some universal concepts to most programming languages and electronics while learning the basics of manipulating both pre-recorded and live video feeds in real-time!

In the Arduino for Artists series, you will be introduced to creative coding, circuit construction, sensors, actuators and much more.

This workshop will give an overview of how to trigger videos using a camera input. As we go through the process, we'll learn how to navigate the Max 6 interface, and learn very basic approaches to initiating interaction with accessible hardware tools.

Glitch.Jam is a part-workshop/ part jam, where Team Vector will walk you through the basics of circuit bending battery operated / plug and play gaming devices. We’ll show you how to crack them open, and how to employ a variety of techniques to create your own game glitches!

This workshop covers tricks and tips for good breadboarding, soldering techniques for everything from circuit boards to audio connectors, how to mount controls such as switches and potentiometers, how to wire various sorts of connectors, and how to deal with wire and cable, both inside a project, and in larger installations.

In this last session of a three-part series, we'll move on from Objective-C to do a little bit of overview and integration of Apple's new Swift programming language. Be the first one of your friends to code in the hip new style!

In just a few lessons, you will pick up the basics of writing and compiling your code in Apple’s development environment, XCode, language basics in Objective-C, and navigating the Cocoa framework.

In just a few lessons, you will pick up the basics of writing and compiling your code in Apple’s development environment, XCode, language basics in Objective-C, and navigating the Cocoa framework.

In this workshop we will cover the basics of electricity, starting with Ohm’s Law, work our way up to building simple digital circuits with CMOS chips, transistors and LEDs, and discuss how to interface these circuits with the ‘real world’ of motors, sensors, and other devices.

This workshop focuses on simple techniques for making art based on code. These techniques can be applied to algorithmic art, data visualization, or graphic design.

This workshop will include a brief artist talk about glitch and glitch art techniques, an overview and exploration of the software necessary to glitch video, tips on where to source video material and what kinds of material are best to work with, an introduction to various experimental techniques and methods of outputting the files.

Join in on this 3-hour, hands-on workshop to explore what you can do with physical computing. Use a real banana to enhance a banana throwing game. Use real water to enhance a swimming tutorial app. Use tilt sensors to add physical exercising to any software program. Wherever your imagination takes you.

In the Processing Quick Class, you'll learn the basics of creative coding, using the Processing language.

In the final workshop of this series, we will learn how to detect user presence and interaction. We'll use a webcam as an input to trigger events, and explore a number of different techniques that allow your project to "see" people around them and respond accordingly.

In this second workshop in the series, we will get familiar with the basics of digital audio and how to use live audio to make sound reactive work!

In the first workshop of the series, we'll learn the basics of manipulating both pre-recorded and live video feeds in real-time. To get there, we'll use the Max 6 programming environment.
