WORKSHOP: Electronics for Absolute Beginners

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Everything you ever wanted to know to build a circuit from scratch, but were afraid to ask!
January 23rd, 11am - 5pm
SPACE, 129 - 131 Mare Street Hackney London, E8 3RH.

picture-4
Tutor Iain Sharp, a lecky pro, will guide you through the basics of how to get electricity to do what you want using a basic circuit that includes some pencil draw components.

The day will focus on how electronics work and will include experiments that demonstrate what different components do. We will use a breadboard to build the circuit, so a lot less soldering than in previous workshops!

Take a look at Iain’s demo video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igXh4fMqVCA

Priority booking for women/girl participants open now. Registration open to all on 13th Jan 2010.

SOLD OUT!

SHOW & TELL: Julie Freeman

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Calling all women artists/techies/tinkerers!

Come and join Julie Freeman introducing the technicalities of her latest work in the next MzTEK P2P show ‘n’ tell.

Julie recently returned from ISEA (International Symposium of Electronic Arts) in Belfast at the end of August, where she showed the piece Specious Dialogue III.

sd_i_lon_03-300x224
Specious Dialogue III consists of a pair of movable, sculptural concrete forms that house wireless audio playback systems. Mounted on pairs of swivel castors the forms are designed to be played with – pushed, rolled, kicked and shoved around the exhibition space. They are physical audio curiosities with personality.
Julie will be discussing the story of the work from the initial commission through to version 3.  She will talk about how she built it from sourcing and constructing the concrete forms, to the writing of the Max>/MSP patch as well as the development of the piece through the sound recording and editing. She will be accompanied by sound producer Dan Grigson (Grantby) who will give hands-on hints and tips on voice-over recording, editing and formating.

Specious Dialogue was commissioned by Cybersonica for Soundwaves 07 and has been shown in London, Luxembourg, Dublin and Limerick.

December 3rd, 6pm - 8pm
Space,  129 - 131 Mare St, Hackney, London, E8 3RH
