Artuino is proud to announce our first Arduino Workshop for Geeks and Artists in Berlin. Organizers: Anton M, Noni Katz.
All participants get to design and build their own Arduino project.
What and why?
Arduino boards are small physical computing platforms, consisting of a simple I/O board and an integrated development environment. Arduino’s can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer.
In this workshop Geeks and Artists will work together to explore new dimensions of art and technology.
Our aim:
To bring people together to invent prototypes of new musical instruments and devices for live visuals. On the first day of the workshop, at the after-party, DJs and musicians will put our creations to the test!
For us. With us.
We want to play not only with Vision, Touch and Sound, but if possible, also with Taste and Smell.
We will work together in small groups, with each group focusing on one of the human senses and aiming to conjure up an emotional experience.
Where:
Based in a an 18th century factory building and spread over 10,000 square metres, ÏMA Design Village offers a unique community style of working and living. With different companies, artist studios, shops, flexible work spaces, a café and bar, it enables and encourages creative partnerships and business cooperations. The ÏMA Design Village team is there to encourage this collaboration between the villagers and create opportunities throughout the entire variety of the village and
its different competences.

it was a fun workshop in an easy atmosphere with nice people, done by nice people. i coincidentally met Nicolas Bourbaki there too, Marco Brosolo and VisualBerlin’s *almost-to-be* intern Jorge.
unfortunately i have too much work to do and couldn’t stay for the rest 1 1/2 days…but it was fun anyways.
here’s my photoset of the workshop. noni, the organizer, opened a facebook group for „ArTuino Berlin“.
