Create Interactive Art using Max/MSP + Arduino
Workshop

Friday 31st October
1-4pm.

Black Box Green Room
(see booking details below).

Learn how to get started creating basic interactive artworks using Max/MSP & Arduino.

In this workshop you will be introduced to the programming environment Max/MSP and the Arduino Uno microcontroller. Max/MSP is a visual programming environment used for real-time audio and video synthesis, processing and interaction. Although the software is highly versatile and multi-faceted, this workshop will focus on how it can be used to create interactive installations and performances utilising the Arduino.

You will be introduced to creating basic interactions using various sensor inputs via the Arduino board such as buttons, infra-red distance sensors and light dependent resistors, and how these can trigger audio, video and LEDs. The aim is to show you what kinds of interactions are possible to get you thinking conceptually about what artworks, installations and performances you might create using this technology.

No prior knowledge is required and it is a useful introduction for beginners looking to experiment with technologies, or more advanced users wishing to learn about sensor interactions.

Attendees will be required to bring their own laptops if they would like to follow along the activities. A selection of Arduino’s and various components will be supplied by us for you to try out. You are also welcome to attend to watch, learn and follow along without actively participating if you just want to discover technical and conceptual possibilities.

The workshop will take place in the Green Room at the Black Box on Friday 31st October, 1-4pm.
