Responding to Gesture and Bodies:
Design for Physically Based Interactive Art
Dates: August 14 - 18
Location: Anderson Ranch Art Center, Aspen/Snowmass Colorado
Faculty: Camille Utterback
Concept: In this workshop students will explore digitally based interactive art that engages human gesture and bodies. The main goal of the workshop is to help students develop a critical context for their own interactive work, and to demystify the technologies behind this type of work - expanding each student's vocabulary in the type of work he/she can do. Students will learn about video tracking technology, working with sensors, potentiometers, microcontrollers and other forms of input, processing, and output. Software used in demonstrations may include Flash, Jitter/Max MSP, Processing, and Basic (for microprocessor and sensor control).
