Arduino is a microcontroller platform broadly used in the fields of art
and design. It is used in creating all kinds of interactive artifacts,
art installations, and prototypes.

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on
flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists,
designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive
objects or environments.

Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of
sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors,
and other actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed
using the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino
development environment (based on Processing). Arduino projects can be
stand-alone or they can communicate with software on running on a
computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP).

This basic workshop will introduce you to the basic use of Arduino. The
goal is to provide you with open source tools, introduce you to the
creation of your own personal prototyping laboratory.

NO PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE IN PROGRAMMING OR ELECTRONICS NEEDED

** Contents

Arduino:
About the tool, how it works, project’s philosophy and community
orientation.

Basic Sensor Technology:
Sensors are devices that map physical properties into digital devices.

Actuators:
Those artifacts that affect the world physically: motors,
electromagnets, piezo elements etc.

Communicating with Computers:

Send information from Arduino to a computer and vice versa. Sending
information to computers makes Arduino into an alternative input device.
Target Audience

The workshop is aimed at artists, engineers, musicians, programmers,
interaction designers, architects, fashion designers or any other person
interested in new media or interactive architecture.
Technical Requirements

The participants are required to bring their own working computers.

The workshop will be held in English. Workshop fee 500 NOK
