This workshop proposes an introduction to the fundamental principles of electronics for use in artistic contexts. Participants will learn an empirical approach which involves manipulating and experimenting with basic components in order to develop a familiarity with electronic processes. We will be employing reused components, as well as components which have been reoriented from and “mis-used” according to their original functions. This approach, inspired by notions of technological disobedience, is employed in order to develop our capacities to design and conceive original circuits. The workshop will conclude with a collective project that uses the new artistic avenues made possible by the technical explorations undergone during the course.
Objectives :
- Gain theoretical and practical knowledge of the fundamental principles of electricity and electronics
- Develop an understanding of basic electronic components through building rudimentary versions using everyday objects
- Create simple circuits that generate and control light, sound, and motion
- Read and draft technical diagrams
- Learn to use the basic functions of a multimeter
- Acquire basic knowledge of diagnostics and repair for electronics
- Collectively reflect on how these techniques might be employed in an installation or performance context by developing a project at the end of the training
Prerequisites
- Be a professional artist, creator or cultural worker **(see conditions)
- Commit to being present for all classes
