ISEA2010 RUHR WORKSHOPS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***Please register for the workshops Max Brand Synthesizer & Synlab Workshop, UPLAY ISEA2010 RUHR and Herbologies & Foraging Networks until Mon 26 July 2010 at: workshops(at)isea2010ruhr.org*** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Max Brand Synthesizer & Synlab Workshop Workshop & Presentation Elisabeth Schimana (at), Gregor Ladenhauf (at), Dirk Reith (de), Florian Zwißler (de) Institute for Computer Music and Electronic Media ICEM, Folkwang Universtity of the Arts Essen-Werden, Studio 1 (Gebäude Neue Aula) Wed 18, Thur 19 & Fri 20 August 2010, 11:00–17:00h Workshop Daily 18:00h Presentation Max Brand Synthesizer The workshop will be held in English. This workshop provides in-depth insights into the strategies used in analogue sound synthesis and invites you to use the Max Brand synthesizer and the Synlab Modular system. The Max Brand synthesizer is a unique instrument developed in a ten year long close collaboration between composer Max Brand and sound engineer Bob Moog. The one of a kind Synlab Modular system in the ICEM studio, with its comprehensive range of modules and extremely flexible connection possibilities, is one of the most powerful analogue sound generating systems worldwide.

The Herbologies/Foraging Networks programme, previously focused in Helsinki (Finland) and Kurzeme region of Latvia, explores the cultural traditions and knowledge of herbs, edible and medicinal plants, within the contemporary context of online networks, open information-sharing and biological technologies. We will present our production narratives and stories, and invite people to make a new language documentation about home-made herbal tinctures and teas. This project is part of a Pixelache Special Feature at ISEA2010 RUHR, co-produced with Pixelache and supported by AVEK and the Finnish Embassy. http://pixelache.ac/helsinki/herbologies-foraging-networks http://herbologies-foraging.net/ Please register until Mon 26 July 2010 at: workshops(at)isea2010ruhr.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ UPLAY ISEA2010 RUHR Urban Playgrounds Developing Ludic Strategies and Interfaces for Participatory Practices in Urban Space Workshop, lecture, game Margarethe Jahrmann (at) & Verena Kuni (de) Duisburg-Ruhrort Sat 28–Sun 29 August 2010 Invitation Call for Participation Location: N 51° 27? 22? E 6° 43? 56? Code: C The workshop will be held in English. This is a game. This is not a game. Do you want to play? UPLAY is a workshop for artists and researchers involved in the development of ludic strategies and interfaces for forms of social/participatory/political (inter-)action in urban space. On the issues are a. o. locative strategies and tools for urban play, potentials and problems of participatory formats and collaborative/distributed/networked game development. Participants are not only invited to present and discuss their own projects, but to collaborate on the development of a game(-level) located in Duisburg-Ruhrort. A public lecture-presentation by the workshop leaders is followed by closed workshop-sessions for applied participants; game sessions will be open to the public. Artists, researchers and other people with professional interest and background in game design, game studies and related fields are invited to hand in a short statement (“letter of interest”, ca. 1.000 - max. 2.500 characters) and a brief C.V. with contact data (e-mail, phone, URL homepage). In case you would like to present/discuss your own project(s), please include a related info-sheet (max. 3.000 characters, project URL/URLs). Preliminary Schedule: Duisburg-Ruhrort Sat 28 August 2010 10:00–12:00h Workshop Intro Session 14:30–16:30h Public Lecture 19:30h Game Sun 29 August 2010 10:00–12:00h Sum Up There’s no fee.

Deadline: Mon 26 July 2010 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***No registration needed for the following workshops*** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hackteria Workshop Workshop Andy Gracie (gb/es) & Marc Dusseiller (ch) Volkshochschule Dortmund, S 139a Mon 23 August 2010, 10:00–15:00h Tue 24 & Thur 26 August 2010, 10:00–16:30h Fee EUR 10 The workshop will be held in English. A primary aim of the workshop activities is to demonstrate that scientific/artistic experimentation can take place within the DIY and open source domains, and that biology and custom electronics can be friends. Participants will become aware of the diversity of microorganisms in the urban environment and learn where to look for them and how to build apparatus for extracting them. After sourcing and isolating microorganisms we then develop open hardware and software environments with which these organisms can be both viewed and become the subjects for simple interactions. A central focus of the activities will be the hacking of webcams to build DIY video microscopes. http://www.hackteria.org/ http://www.hostprods.net/ http://www.dusseiller.ch/labs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Experimental Electronics Workshop Workshop Antti Ahonen (fi), Harri Vähänissi (fi), Olli Suorlahti (fi) Mon 23 August 2010, 10:00–15:00h Tue 24 August 2010, 10:00–16:30h Tue 24 August 2010, 22:00h presentation at domicil Volkshochschule Dortmund, L 109 The workshop will be held in English. In the workshop we will search for artistic ways to re-use old consumer electronics. We try out different methods to take control of existing hardware with simple tools. We will bend, hack and experiment together with anything we can get our hands on. No prior experience with electronics needed, the workshop is open just to drop by or stay longer as you please. Do bring your old electronics if you have some. This project is part of a Pixelache Special Feature at ISEA2010 RUHR, co-produced with Pixelache and supported by AVEK and the Finnish Embassy. www.koelse.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ diy makeaway Swiss Mechatronic Art Society (SGMK) Workshop Speaker: Markus Haselbach (ch). Christoph Stähli (ch), Tobias Hoffmann (de/ch), Urs Gaudenz (ch) & Dr. Marc Dusseiller (ch) Volkshochschule Dortmund, L 109 Thur 26 & Fri 27 August 2010, 10:00–16:30h The workshop will be held in English. The idea is to introduce the general public into the act of creation in electronic art. Next to our simple “classic“ synthesizer noise-toy we also build the 1x_pixel, which allows an insight into interactive visual arts: The circuit controls a single RGB LED through an audio frequency filter attached to a small microphone. By this, the participant can build a little interactive toy that reacts to the pitch of the voice and displays the full range of colours inside of a pingpong ball. The BitBadge is even more simple and uses a DIY method of reflow-soldering to make a cute little LED badge with a customizable light pattern. No registration needed, anybody can just join in and participate. A small budget will be needed for workshop materials. This Workshop is supported by Migros Kulturprozent. http://www.mechatronicart.ch http://www.mechatronicart.ch/diymakeaway ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3-DAY and DAY PASSES are on sale!
