How to get unbelievable functionality out of the cheap point-and-shoot Canon photo-camera by installing CHDK and scripts onto it. You will be exploring the possibilities and limitations of CHDK while doing fun small projects individually or together; acquire skills necessary to write and debug small programs for the camera; mastering your own remote shutter release, battery packs and other hardware without risking damaging your camera as well as to repairing (seemingly) defective ones; making videos from photographs using free software; compiling programs, and benefiting from the situation where 15 hacked cameras meet together.
ARE YOU CONNECTIVE?
Site-relative interactions workshop
With: Stefanie Wuschitz(artist) + Amir Hassan(coder)
April 20. - 24. 2010, 2 - 7/8/.. PM daily
April 24. 2010, from 7 PM - Public. Come-come

We will be exploring simple functions and hardware of mobile phones as SMS, blue-tooth, video, in-built photo camera, speakers, vibrator, sensors to generate participatory art project in public space by playing with different ways of connecting the inside of our studio-space with the outside-neighborhood. For those interested we will also look into a programming environment to code little applications for mobile phones called Mobile Processing. These applications can then control in-built sensors or create graphical user interfaces. We would like to emphasize that sharing skills and experiences in joined projects will be of importance in this particular workshop.
ARE YOU CONDUCTIVE?
Hands on, creative workshop & open circuit.

Focusing on uniting sustainable low tech and untypical materials with high tech in a poetic and fluent way, we will be creating changeable patterns, forms and shapes within the electric circuit, experimenting with resistance and conductivity to create hand made switches and analogue sensors from magnetite stones, conductive thread/fabric, graphite, organic and found materials to be joined to a spatial interactive and sensual circuit, consisting of movable parts, connected to the micro controller Arduino.
