On Friday, we continue with the “Explore the City” exhibition presentation with focus on Arduino art.

Playful Hardware workshop will introduce the participants to Arduino, an open source microcomputer (tiny controller) as a tool that creates and generates artwork, and subsequently to Max/MSP, a visual programming language that helps you build complex, interactive programs without any prior experience in writing code, especially for audio, video and graphics applications.

The workshop schedule is as follows:

10.00 – 10.15 Meeting and opening, introduction to exhibited works
10.15 – 10.45 Lecture: Experience the exhibition space
10.45 – 11.00 Coffee break
11.00 – 12.00 Arduino & MAX as tools for creating and self-generating artworks

Workshop is free for all participants!
