<p>TINT is excited to announce a new endeavour in collaborative
co-exploration of media arts. Unleashed a weekend of workshops and
artistic projects in progress that invite others to join. The
event is kindly hosted by the <a href="http://apiarystudios.org/">Apiary
Studios</a> (458 Hackney Road, E2 9EG London) and will take
place on the 25th and 26th of June.<br>

<h1>Programme</h1>
<h2>Saturday 25th of June (10:00 – ~19:00)</h2>
<h3>David Strang & Andy Prior: Mixing the City</h3>
<p>Participants in the workshop are invited to create content for
use in the bespoke <a
href="http://x2.i-dat.org/%7Eap/2010PhD/?page_id=414">Quicktime
WebJay (QTWJ)</a> environment, using field recording techniques
and video capture within the surrounding area. You will explore a
range of field recording techniques and abstract video capture,
using various sonic arts and video arts methods, to create A/V
rhythms which are then manipulated/controlled within QTWJ. The
recorded material will be added to a database and will continue to
be used by any QTWJ workshops/users in the future.</p>
<p>This content will then be used by the participants within QTWJ to
create a live performance of sound and visuals at the end of the
day.</p>

Deep Media Research: Bodies in Communication</h3>
<p>Deep Media Research develops simple prototypes to explore the
vast field of infra-verbal bodily communication. In our workshop
we will explore how we can use sensors to measure signals of our
body and actuators to make those signals perceivable by others.
We’ll make use of simple electronics, the Arduino microcontroller,
and some code and are looking for beginners and intermediates who
want to be introduced into body sensing (galvanic skin response,
pulse, …), experiment with actuators and/or help to develop the
project further.</p>

Dominick Allen: Optical Sound</h3>
<p>Optical Sound will be a practical, hands on workshop building and
exploring optical microphones (devices that turn fluctuations in
light into sound) for use in field recordings, performances etc.
Everybody attending the workshop will have the chance to build
their own optical microphone which they can take away with them
for a small donation. The workshop will be followed by an
audio-visual performance to explore the possibilities of these
microphones. Everybody is welcome and no previous experience of
electronics is necessary</p>
<h3>Stephen Fortune: Computational Crystallomancy</h3>
<p>This workshop brings the occult methods of crystal gazing into
proximity with the DIY entry point to ubiquitous computing.</p>
<p>This workshop will combine the arduino and psychological
experiments for discerning trance states. The arduino is the
amateur-enthusiast avenue into sensor aware environments. Those
psychological experiments used bodily traces to determine the
subjects inner state of mind. Both will be combined to see what
data sampling all elements of the crystallomancy circuit can tell
us about the computational modelling of reality that ubiquitous
computing entails.</p>
<p>This project is at it’s conceptual inception and is looking for
people who are interested in how reality can be made sensible to
computers and those who would have an interest is seeing how
intuitive practices like crystal gazing reconcile with the
rational & cognitive disposition of computational culture.
Introductory arduino (input feeds) and processing data feeds will
be explored.</p>

<h2>Saturday 25th of June (~19:00+)</h2>
<p>Workshop performances and TINT BBQ. All welcome!</p>

<h2>Sunday 26th of June (11:00 – ~18:00)</h2>
<h3>Madi Boyd: Performing Screen</h3>
<p>This project in progress is to create a robotic puppet like
screen which will interact with the film projected onto it in
order to create an intense dialogue. The screen will be composed,
eventually, of hundreds of small independently moving parts. The
parts will be controlled by servos so that they move in all
directions in an organic but choreographed formation. They will
appear to react to and be sculpted by the film. This performative
dialogue between the projection and the screen will extend into a
tussle in their attempts to shape each other, creating a new
dynamic form in the process.</p>
<p>This project is at the concept/experimental stage and invite
interested artist and technicians to partake researching several
aspects needed to complete this work. These include: materials
which will be able to move effectively, materials which reflect
and absorb light in varying amounts, programming/controlling up to
80+ servo motors.</p>

<h3>Open Lab</h3>
<p>The previous days projects to be continued if required. In
addition the Apiary Studios will be open for everyone to bring
their own subject of tinkering to join the collaborative
exploration. All projects welcomed!</p>
