Subject: [NEW-MEDIA-CURATING] Takeaway Festival DIY Media May 13-14 at the
Dana Centre, Science Museum, London


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
