Upcoming Workshop

VF26 | All You Can Seal: Making Inflatables with a 3D Printer

Repurpose a Bambu FDM printer to produce custom-shaped inflatable structures without additional equipment or hardware modification.

Upcoming Workshop

VF26 | unraveling the algorithm

Join in collective finger-weaving to unravel the computer through its textile origins. As we fuss and fumble with our creations, we will reflect on their design, the algorithms around us, and the power we have to change them.

Upcoming Workshop

VF26 | Buzz Bites

Play with experimental connection techniques and work-in-progress breakout boards for use with pancake-style vibrating motors. Both hard and soft circuit approaches will be introduced – soldering, sewing, and working with conductive fabric tape.

Past Workshops

Android & Arduino: Control the World With Your Phone!

Ready to build an army of Android-controlled robots? Or automate parts of your home with your Android phone or tablet? If you're an experienced Arduino hacker but haven't dabbled in Android development, then this workshop is for you!

Live Coding: Power Processing in Eclipse

Take Processing to the next level. Using the free development environment Eclipse, weâ€™ll add the more powerful capabilities of a full Java development environment to Processing.

Processing for iPhone

Take your skills in Processing and use them to add interactive elements to websites or build mobile and iPhone apps.

Designing With Depth: Kinect for the Processing Audience

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

Making Pictures With Processing

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.

Intro to Generative Art & Processing

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).

Sensors Workshop

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.

Intro to Arduino

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

Responsive Sound & Real-Time Code with SuperCollider (2 PART WORKSHOP)

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

Workshop: Reactive Works - Audio & Video Control with Arduino and PureData

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.

Designing with Depth: Kinect for the Kinda Non-Mechanical Audience

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

Workshop: Arduino & DMX control with David McCallum

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

Workshop: Intro to Analog Robotics with Michael Awad

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

Workshop: Sensors! with Jessica Field

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.

Drop-In Workshop: Let's Build an Atari Punk Console!

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

Workshop: Electronics Fabrication with Rob Cruickshank

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.

Workshop: Making the World Move Artfully (Kinetics) with Robert Hengeveld

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