I'd like to point your attention to the retune conference that I'm co-organizing and that will take place from 27th – 29th September in Berlin.
Retune is a small conference that explores the impact of new technology on contemporary creative expression and society. We'll have 15 speakers and 6 workshops (one of them is an introduction to the use of shaders in Processing).
Around the world new technologies and new means of production and distribution enable unprecedented innovation and creative expression; while the sharing, forking and remixing of knowledge blend traditional fields in a way that informs and inspires new questions, theories and methods.
The retune.13 - creative technology conference is a gathering of artists, scientists, designers, hackers and entrepreneurs who are engaged in these developments, and looking to exchange their ideas and questions on new ways of working, thinking and expressing with technology.
retune.13 takes place from Sept 27 – 29 2013 in Berlin. It is a single-track conference of hand-picked workshops and talks, with limited participants, and generous time for discussing and connecting.
I wonder if anyone has tried to connect an Android phone to a big screen using MHL (
Mobile High-Definition Link). Can the Processing library handle this?
On October 26 – 28, 2012, more than 200 artists, hackers, designers, architects and engineers from around the world will meet in Berlin for the second time to exchange and explore creative ideas.
Following last year’s very successful
Create. Art and Technology conference, Germany’s first forum for artists and inventors is taking place for the second time, organized by a new team and with a new name:
Retune Conference.
Designers, artists, hackers, architects and engineers all are connected through the world wide web. They share knowledge about materials, tools and code in online communities. They document projects online and inspire others to remix and DIY. Digital production technologies which a few years ago used to be exclusive to industrial users, nowadays are accessible to everyone. New financing models facilitate the implementation of projects without the help of investors and banks.
All of these developments spark off a new, creative culture of innovation. Retune brings together a heterogenous group of people and presents examples as to how passionate experimenting, breaking up old paradigms and open-mindedness can change the world. The event location right in the middle of Berlin Kreuzberg links the conference with one of the hotspots of this innovative movement.
Presentations and workshops will provide basic and expertise knowledge: which production technique is best for which material? How do developers organize their work most efficiently? How do you turn LEDs into clothing? How to program a micro controller? How to make medical instruments from very simple materials? Insiders explain intriguing projects from concept to implementation. Musicians meet up for an open source music night and will perform with their self-made instruments. Designers and artists present their interactive installations.
We are still looking for someone (or a team) who wants to lead a Processing workshop at the conference! Contact us at
