Harvestworks Art and Technology Program presents Nick Brooke’s artwork Extant, in the exhibition A Sense of Time in Art and Tech. Extant is an immersive installation about celestial navigation amidst rising tides. An older mechanism of navigation–the sextant— is wired up to modern sensors and surround sound, to make an… Continue reading
This hands-on session is designed to explore the capabilities of Adobe After Effects’ projection mapping tools. We will learn how to project video content onto physical objects. The second half of the workshop will focus on sound sonification using Ableton and Processing, where we will explore various tools to incorporate… Continue reading
“What do I point to by the inner activity of listening? To the sound that comes to my ears, and to the silence when I hear nothing? Listening as it were looks for an auditory impression and hence can’t point to it, but only to the place where it is… Continue reading

As emerging technology such as XR and GenAI continue to evolve at a rapid pace, it is critical that artists, who are often at the bleeding edge of society and… Continue reading
In this seminar, Dr. Heidi Boisvert will discuss current empirical research methods and insights emerging from the Limbic Lab, which employs biometrics, machine learning, and predictive models to isolate effective narrative ingredients across various mediums of expression. Boisvert will share how this research informs the creation of bio-adaptive networked dance… Continue reading
The workshop will be focused on teaching attendees how to use Ableton Connection Kit with software such as Max and Arduino to make creative projects that incorporate elements like motors, lights, and sound. Participants will learn how to connect, control, and monitor these elements in their projects. Additionally, attendees will also… Continue reading
In this workshop, we will talk through various approaches to making a “signal chain” from ideas to audiences to archives. Starting from an up-close demonstration of Bob’s setup for performances, we will discuss his approach to multidimensional sound using his core working tools of the matrix mixer, microphones / contact… Continue reading
