Workshops

Reflect on the evolution of surveillance over the last century and explore various resistance strategies used by artists and technologists.

A to Z Experimental Chatroom visits the past, present, and future of experimental communication software.

This workshop will provide an introduction to workflows and techniques for creating real-time visuals and form a foundation of knowledge to enable one to continue exploring and learning TouchDesigner.

Jawa El Khash will teach the history, basic hardware, and process of world-building in virtual reality in a two-part online workshop.

This session will build upon the “Intro to Net Art” workshop and teach participants how to publish their interactive art on the web.

Learn how to create augmented reality apps in Unity using Vuforia with Jenn E Norton.

Any sound can be used as an emotional barometer of time and place. This virtual class lead by Kristel Jax embraces limitation and chance to demonstrate the endless sonic potential of one’s surroundings.

Learn how to transform physical objects into 3D prints! This two-part workshop will begin with a hands-on introduction to the basics of photogrammetry and will acquaint artists with digital modeling and the 3D printing process.

Join us for an intermediate workshop on Operational Amplifiers and discover their special power supply requirements, the common op-amp circuit configurations, and how to use an oscilloscope to visualize analog voltage.

Dive into the digital media landscape with Hiba Ali and learn how to use Blender to produce a video that combines 3D animation with audio, found footage, and live video recordings.

Our Studio Artist-in-Residence seb pines will be leading a discussion and experimental workshop about the intersections of physical computing and disability. Co-presented with Tangled Art + Disability.

Do you want to learn to make interactive work, sound art, electronic music, kinetic sculptures, robots, wearable technology, and more? Galen Macdonald will teach the basics of simple circuits, logic gates, and electronic components in a workshop developed specifically for artists.

SOLD OUT -- Join us to build a robot friend who can follow you around and navigate your home without bumping into things!  Tess Sutherland will introduce you to soldering, circuitry, Arduino programming, and basic robotics ideas – including anthropomorphism and behaviour creation.

Build your own Eurorack Envelope Generator at the Toronto Sound Festival. Join us to practice your soldering and circuit building skills, and add a new unit into your rack!

Technology transforms how people live, as well as their attitudes, instincts, personas, and psyches, all of which comprise human subjectivity. This experimental workshop lead by Simon Rabyniuk will bring together artists, designers, and technologists to read, discuss and explore present-day issues related to technology and the city.

SOLD OUT -- Let’s take a look at how light behaves, and explore different sources of light that can be used in artworks. Rob Cruickshank will contemplate the physics of light. Is it a wave? A particle? Or both? What is the difference between reflection and refraction? What is colour, and how do we see it?

Lee Wilkins will teach you how to build basic circuits and switches. This exploratory workshop serves as a departure point for considering how cybernetics, materials, and the future of electronics will unfold.

Dive into virtual and augmented reality and learn to draw in 3D space using Tilt Brush with multimedia artist Casey Koyczan. Presented as part of imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival.

Join us for an introduction to generative art and the fundamentals of p5.js, a programming language developed for artists to simplify drawing with code, with instructor Adam Herst.

Join us for an in-depth workshop with visual artist and scientist Raddah Chaddah on how to mount stains and natural dyes made from saffron, beets, and blue-green algae, and prepare them for photography using the InterAccess microscopes.
