P2-hacking

Throughout the project, students will be introduced to working in the Interaction Station. They will explore networks from both a performative and embodied approach, as well as a more technical and protological perspective.

Workshop #1

This workshop focuses on self-organized visual networks using collective body movements, facilitated through OSC communication and TouchDesigner.

Workshop #2

Brigit Lichtenegger

In this workshop you will setup your own peer to peer computer network. We will be having a closer look at using the OSC protocol to send and receive messages between multiple computers. We will then use these messages to trigger certain commands, like opening a text file, play a sound, run text to speech etc. This allows us not only to connect different programs together on 1 or more machines, but also to create an entirely different interface.

We all use computer networks, but did you ever create one? Or have you created a networked project? By creating your own network and experimenting with the possibilities to connect computers and computer programs with a learn by doing approach, we aim to enhance your understanding of these networks, and give tools to imagine alternatives.

This workshop is a full day workshop. In the morning there will be a technical instruction, where you will be introduced to the OSC protocol, the command line, and a little bit of programming. In the afternoon we will together apply all that we learned and more and create a networked Rube Goldberg Machine.
