Hi everyone
Just some details about “Takeaway Light” but the festival has arranged
two main events this year and it may interest the list.
Tuesday 13th May 6.00-9.00pm
A Special Viewing and Question and Answer session via Satellite link
with Mark Hansen and Ben Rubin the artists behind the Listening Post
installed for one year in the Science Museum. The session will provide
valuable access to the artists and help visitors to the festival to
engage with the theoretical discourses that have grown up around this
important piece.
Wednesday 14th May
14.00-17.00 and 18.00-20.00
RFID workshops
Each workshop is tailored for a maximum of 30 designers/artists who want
to learn more about RFID and its possible benefits for interactive
objects used in installations, interactive audio or triggering
environmental changes of different sorts.
The workshops will guide the participants through the technical and
design issues required for using RFID. Participants make their own
prototype of an RFID application or scenario. Each object tagged with an
RFID chip has a unique digital ID, and the workshop will show how data
can be retrieved using these unique ID's.
It is preferable if those who attend have already attended an
introductory course on the Arduino Board
