This summer, Openlab, the London-based open source art and technology  
collective, presents a series of in-depth summer workshops exploring  
creating and hacking media using free software and tools.  Workshops  
will include both beginner and advanced instruction in such software  
as PureData, Processing, and SuperCollider, as well as using the  
microcontroller Arduino, general sound hardware hacking, and more.   
For less than the cost of the cinema, you can gain some valuable  
skills using free software!

1) Introduction to Arduino: Microcontrollers, LEDs, sensors, and you!  
with Daniel Hirschmann - £10
A simple introduction to the Arduino as a platform for prototyping  
physical & digital interactive objects, installation, and things .   
We will cover the programming environment, some basic electronics,  
and learn how to make sensors do stuff to lights.

Requirements:
     * A laptop computer with Arduino downloaded and installed.  Go  
through the Getting Started guide on the website.
     * An Arduino Microcontroller platform.  These can be bought from  
Tinker.it.  If needed, a few will be on hand for use, or for sale.   
Please let us know by email (see above) whether you're interested in  
buying one on the day.

Electronic Components:
Breadboard, hook-up wire, switches, LEDs, Potentiometers, Infrared  
Rangers, Ultrasonic rangers, FSR's, other sensors...  If you don't  
know what these are, DON'T worry!  We'll have a few available to use  
during the intro.  If you DO know what these are, and you have a them  
- bring them along and we can help you wire them up!

2) Processing for Visual Artists with Evan Raskob - £10
Processing is fast becoming the tool of choice for interactive  
artists and designers looking to add some visual complexity and user  
interaction to their work, from music videos to interactive kiosks  
and print graphics.  This 2-hour workshop is the second in a series  
of summer workshops, where we work on some language fundamentals and  
drawing images to the screen. There will be open workshop time for  
questions at the end.  Some basic exposure to Processing is  
suggested.  Please bring a laptop and download Processing prior to  
the workshop. Taught by lecturer and visual performance artist Evan  
Raskob.
