In this free workshop participants will learn how to apply sensor technology (with special attention to capturing human movements) to develop their own concepts of electronic media control (with special attention to controlling sound and music media), without needing to become a hardware engineer.

Starting with a discussion and analysis of what the participants would like to achieve, various relevant sensor technologies will be presented together with examples of I-CubeX sensor products, and/or similar electronic art projects. If applicable, demo applications of I-CubeX products will be presented in some detail to provide suggestions to the participants how to proceed with their vision of a controller, interactive installation etc.. Each participant will then be setup with I-CubeX equipment as best matches their needs, and we'll then proceed with a crash course for getting all setups operational.

Participants will need to bring their own computer, and software such as Max/MSP, Live, Max4Live, Flash etc.. The participants need to be familiar with the software of their choice already, but no knowledge of sensors and sensor interfacing is assumed, while it will not be necessary for participants to hack hardware or solder electronic components. The participants will be offered to purchase the I-CubeX equipment at a significant discount.

The day after this workshop - Tuesday, May 18 at 6pm - Axel Mulder will host a free lecture/discussion at EMF about the i-CubeX philosophy: http://www.emfproductions.org/crc/schedule.html
