During the workshop you will: * get your laptop converted into the digital Theremin; * learn the ways of interaction with your laptop by means of body motion and gesture; * learn how to incorporate your laptop into the network to share sounds, images and data in order to create common interactive environment. You will also learn: * Basic principles of operation of the Theremin based interactive systems; * The ways to detect motion and measure it; * Art and music applications of interactive motion tracking systems; * Ways to integrate Theremin-sensors in performance, dance, video, sound and art installations. Digital USB sensors for testing, experimenting and performing will be provided by instructors. SensorLand: 5 audio-visual installations based on various applications of Theremin-sensor technology will be set up to be available (as a ready made instruments) for using and experimenting with during the workshop and final performances: * Terpsitone Installation; * Dancing Curves for interactive laser scanning system; * Sensor-Garden for interactive plants; * Wind sensitive Vetro-Touchless Installation; * Water Bubble Theremin Installation (water, waves, bubbles, foam as a sensitive media).
