Input, output and things in between
Processing WORKSHOP:
Presenters: Dennis Paul and Patrick Kochlick

Dennis Paul and Patrick Kochlick, of Berlin based multi media company ART+COM, are renowned creators of screen applications, websites, terminals and installations, multimedia facades, functional spaces and sensory experiences for industry, culture and the research sector. Projects created by Paula and Kochlick can be found on the internet, in museums, showrooms, trade fairs and events and visitor & science centres (http://www.artcom.de)

WHEN: 31st July -  4th August
WHERE: COFA UNSW
Corner of Greens Rd, Paddington 2021
Room: GG10

WORKSHOP CONTEXT:
'Physical computing' investigates interfaces between the physical and the digital domain by creating interactive system with hard- and software. These two converging domains create a new challenge for designers. On the one hand they need to acquire the skills to use these technologies on the other, more importantly designers need to find meaningful ways to apply these technologies.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE:
To teach students how to merge computing technologies with coherent design processes. You will create work in an environment where you will be investigating paradigms of physical computing and translating input to output and vice versa.

WORKSHOP PROJECT:
Based on Arduino/Processing technology you will develop an object with a simple input and output as well as a serial port for data exchange.
(The outer shape of the object is a pre-defined small white cube, creating a uniform visual appearance, drawing the attention towards the behaviour. An Arduino board, sensors and output devices are stored in the cube. Once connected via a serial cable, two cubes will start to exchange collected data while outputting the others data. Interaction with one cube will turn the other into an output device and vice versa)
