REPORTAGE

EXEMPLE


What is it about ?
Interactive projects are usually based on the interaction between people and computers by means of the computer screen (output), the mouse and the keyboard (input). These well-known input and output possibilities disregard many aspects of physical facts, space, and human proportion. What is the relationship of a computer program to the human body or to the environment? What other possibilities exist, aside from the resolution of data into pixels, for the visualization of information? How would it be if we looked at the computer as something other than a mere calculator allowing the utilization of programs and saw it, instead, as a little independent tool of an installation?

What does this workshop consist in ?
This workshop offers an intense, practical confrontation with interactive media in space in which simple electronic elements, microcontrollers and their programming will be used. The building of sensors and physical instruments allows the connection of real and virtual space, software and hardware. Aspects of context and space, atmosphere and interaction, and their relationship to light, movement, warmth, and sound will be explored through a wide range of input and output experiments. The workshop will provide a progressive immersion in interactive technics and the 2 last days will be dedicated to your personal project. We will focus on the use of BX24.

When?
from the 6th to the 13th of february 2005.
7 days, 8h/day, one entire week, including saturday and sunday for producing a personal project.

How much will it cost?
410 Euros (or 300 £) per student for 7 days of intensive workshop (including the material) : that makes 42 E/ day, or 5,3 E for 1 hour for1 student, the fact is that it's very cheap.At the end of the workshop, each student willkeep for himself the entire electronic kit (value: 150 Euros) he would have used during the workshop. See more details in budget.

What about foreign students?
Their are several unexpensive possibilities to sleep in Paris
Exemple 1 : « ideal hotel » 26E / night
Exemple 2 : « Youth Hostel » 20E / night
I think that we can arrange free accomodation between students if needed, french hospitality.
