Course overview
Thursday 23rd January 6pm UK
The second open mic night hosted by Music Hackspace! For these evenings we welcome anyone to come forward with a project that they would like to share and provide them with roughly 20-30 minutes to showcase the project and answer people's questions. There's no need for the projects to be professional, or even finished, we participate in this exercise with a supportive and open attitude to create work!
This month’s open source will showcase the following two projects and artists.
Speakers & presentations
- The N8IR - Sourya Sen
The N8IR is a standalone experimental audiovisual synthesizer and phrase generator. Designed with a simple set of interconnected audio and visual controls and a modular patch bay, the N8IR creates tightly synced audiovisual patterns, powered by a Teensy microcontroller and CMOS logic chips.
- Bodies, their movement and states, as material - Dhruv Saxena
This series of experiments looks at possible interfaces and relationships, at the intersections of computer vision, movement, and generative AI. With specific technologies of real-time image diffusion, and image recognition, several interfaces have been prototyped, which explore possible tethers that can be drawn between the video/image‘s contexts, and added qualia of “prompts”.
