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, we will be looking at techniques employed by artists who use Processing heavily in their respective practices, in an effort to gain new insight into the software and incorporate new ideas into our own work.

Learn Processing, a versatile tool frequently used by artists to create screen- and projection-based images and videos capable of responding to live data input (sensors, online information, etcetera).

In this workshop, we'll learn how sensors and work, examine different kinds of information they output, and make some simple Arduino-based applications that use that sensor data.

In this 2-part workshop, we'll learn the basics of Arduino.

Learn SuperCollider, an environment and programming language for real-time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition.

Learn a relatively easy way to create reactive video and audio works that respond to physical sensors such as knobs, switches, and infrared distance sensors all without having to write any code.

This workshop will focus on using the Kinect to make your computer-attached projects see better.

Learn how to control DMX devices straight through Arduino, with a little hardware hacking and some custom software libraries.

This hands-on workshop will teach the basics of robotic components, in theory, and in practice.

The workshop will introduce you to a variety of different sensors. Explain how they work, show the three different types of interfaces to work your sensor and prepare you for using any sensor you would like in the future.

On the afternoon of Saturday, June 16th, drop into the InterAccess Studio and build an Atari Punk Console with us.

Getting your project working in the lab is only the first step! We'll show you how to build it to survive and to look good while doing it.

Making the World Move Artfully explores the use of motors and other sources of movement within art-making.
