It is possible to be put on a waiting l ist by filling out this online registration form. In the case that a spot o pens up we will contact you.\nInvention and interaction design workshop wit h CCRMA researchers\n\nThis is an in-depth course in physical interaction d esign led by researchers Edgar Berdahl and Florian Goltz. In this workshop we will explore the essential notions of interactive art and invention thro ugh working with small embeddable computers (the open\, DIY-friendly Beagle Board). These small computers combine the connectivity of a laptop with th e computational power of a high-end smartphone\; however they are less expe nsive than either and fit inside a cigar box. We will dedicate much of the workshop to prototyping new functional artworks\, for example: musical inst ruments\, effects processors\, interactive installation works\, and anythin g else you can imagine that requires high computational power in a small\, inexpensive footprint.\nIn the broader sense this workshop deals with inter action design: What happens when human behaviours meet those of machines? H ow do the devices we use determine the style of interaction? How do we desi gn for the limitations of human performance and the affordances of machines ? A key component of this workshop will be learning about the process of ma king something that interacts with the real world. We will cover the topic of physical interaction design in depth\, using the physical interaction de sign framework developed by Bill Verplank as a fundamental approach.\n  \;\n\n \;\nSpecific topics we will cover include:\n\nThe core perspecti ves of physical interaction design: idea\, metaphor\, model\, display\, err or\, scenario\, tasks\, and control\nExercises in invention\, brainstorming and sketching\nA survey of existing controllers and interactive music prac tices\nEmbedded\, open computing with Linux and the Beagle Board\nSensor te chnologies (force-sensitive\, capacitive\, optical\, and acceleration) and the design of custom DIY sensors using conductive and piezoelectric fabrics \nApplications of sensors and electronics to real-time music\nProgramming m usic synthesis and effects with PureData\nInterfacing sensors with the Beag le Board using the Arduino Nano\nHands-on work with analog and digital elec tronics\n\n \;\nDates: 11 - 15 June \, 2012\nTime: 10:00 – 19:00 each d ay with lunch break\nLocation: STEIM\, Achtergracht 19\, 1017WL Amsterdam\n Cost: €300 registration + cost of workshop kit *(see below)\nFor those trav eling from abroad\, STEIM has available a number of rooms in our artist hot el for a discounted rate.

Each pa rticipant must bring a Max OS X\, Linux\, or Windows laptop. A pair of head phones with a stereo minijack connector. And a willingness to experiment an d invent! To save time\, we ask that Windows users pre-install Cygwin in advance of the workshop so that openssh\ , xinit\, and the “required” packages are all available.

\n

Even thoug h we'll be focusing on using PureData\, any Linux-compatible synthesis soft ware *should* theoretically run on the BeagleBoard. If you're interested in using something other than PD please let us know beforehand so we can prep are.

You should have some programming know-how (for example: MaxMSP \, Javascript\, or Python) for this workshop\, though you certainly don't n eed to be an expert. We will be providing numerous examples to get you off the ground.

\n

The kits can be used for prototyping new kinds of effec ts boxes (for instance\, for guitar). If you are interested in creating a p rogrammable effects box then please email the workshop leaders in advance s o we can provide a 1/4" guitar cable connector for you.
