ScrapCycle(reUSE/reCOMBINE): Break Breadboards Tutorial and Demonstration
SAT MAY 22ND | 7:30PM | ADMISSION = REFUSE FOR REUSE |
ScrapCycle is an annual upcycling event that places an exchange-value on upcycled and reused materials, in order to probe the environmental effects of economic perspective: Events require a piece of refuse for reuse as the price of admission. Admission materials are used for on-site installations, directed toward local upcycling artists, or repurposed as holiday gift wrap. These action-based economic and environmental aspects of ScrapCycle refer to the act of reuse as requiring us to approach everyday decisions from a use-value perspective, which is in opposition to our collective exchange-value upbringing.
In addition to featuring upcycled artworks and performances, workshops take place throughout the month in order to underscore the participatory nature of the ScrapCycle series:
On Saturday, May 22nd, ScrapCycle(reUSE/reCOMBINE) artist Phillip Stearns hosts Break Breadboards, a circuitbending upcycling tutorial and demonstration.
All ScrapCycle events require a piece of refuse for reuse as the price of admission. Found water bottles are the preferred admission material, on behalf of upcycling artists Katherine Liberovskaya and Keiko Uenishi.
No registration or prerequisites required.

Smart Art: Making Digital Media Connect by Joshue Ott and Peter Kirn
Saturday April 10 | 1-4pm | $75.00 | $30.00 reduced/student
Working with free tools, with an emphasis on Processing and Pure Data (the free cousin of Max/MSP), see how OSC can make control messages human-readable, intelligent, interactive, and precise. Connect software in different media, devices from computers to smartphones, and users in the same room or across the globe. Learn how network standards can make connecting easy - no system administrators required. And see how open, free development makes collaboration easier. Whether you want to collaborate with another artist or simply make music and visual software talk to one another for a performance, we'll give you the basic tools to get started.
Registration is closed for this workshop.
PREREQUISITES: For both workshops, some basic experience with a tool such as Processing, Max, OpenFrameworks, or Pd is recommended, but no previous experience with Open Sound Control (OSC) is needed.

Getting your Face out from Behind the Screen: Creating a Remote-Control Interface for Your Interactive Project by Eric Redlinger
Saturday April 10 | 11am-12pm | Free |
The tyranny of the computer monitor is something that interactive media performers have long struggled with; while dancers, musicians and other performance artists are free to interact with the audience while performing, computer artists are generally stuck behind their screens. With the recent explosion of consumer touch-screen devices, however, many of us now have the tools we need to get out from behind the screen already in our pockets. This demonstration highlights one solution for using your iPod/iPhone to control your performance or installation by leveraging the free Mrmr platform, presented by a lead developer of the project. You'll see an overview of all the steps in the process, including designing and creating your mobile interface, installing the interface on your mobile device, and connecting it all to your existing project. This demonstration also serves as an introduction to the more in-depth and hands-on workshop "Smart Art: Making Digital Media Connect".
