Physical Computing Workshop with Eva Sjuve

The workshop is aimed at artists and musicians who are interested in 
physical interaction with the computer, a way to interact, by not using 
the keyboard and the mouse. In the workshop we use a 
microcontroller, BasicX-24, programming it using Basic language, and 
use it as a tool for interaction with various kinds of sensors. The 
workshop is basic, no programming or knowledge in electronics is 
necessary, but preferred. 

To attend the workshop is free, the participant has to pay for their own 
travel and lodging to Bergen, Norway. The participants will be able to 
keep their project from the workshop.

To participate or for more info send an email to:

And include a motivation to participate in the workshop.

The workshop is limited to 7 participants.


Eva Sjuve has been working with computer-based projects since the 
80's, and is building and performing with physical interfaces. She has 
been exhibiting in Europe, US, South America, Asia and Australia, 
since mid –80's. Eva Sjuve studied microcontrollers at The Physics 
Department at Lund University, Sweden, and later at The Interactive 
Telecommunications Program at New York University. She holds a MA 
in Art Theory and Master's studies in Drama/Theatre/Film, Lund

audio, video, and graphical processing, originally developed by Miller 
Puckette. This workshop is aimed at beginners and will include 
installation of PD/GEM, serial control from a microcontroller, building of 
a basic sound patch and introduction to GEM (an OpenGL and video 
extension for Pd)

Pure Data is a free software and can be used on Mac OSX, Linux, 
Windows 32
