String Network
To coincide
with DecodeRecode, we have developed an interactive collaborative
drawing network, designed on the concept of a neural network, allowing
students to experience collaborative creative practice, using the
principles of social networked communication through an analogue
string system.

Physical Computing’
and Arduino devices have made physical interaction affordable and
available to non-experts. Whether creating interactive installations,
information systems, prototyping products, or making new interfaces,
there is a whole world of DIY electronics, interaction design and
rapid prototyping available through this platform. |

MAX, Thursday 8th March 10.00am to 12.00pm
By James Medd,
MA Creative Technology
Learn Max from the ground up, work through the
basics and get an introduction to the concept of modular programming.
Approach the environment in a way that avoids 'the things you'll
never use'. I'll be passing on tips and techniques from my experience,
giving starter advice without overloading on the unnecessary details.
If anyone has ideas, they can let me know and I'll perhaps try and
work through them once we've gone over all of the basic concepts.
If possible, please BRING LAPTOPS. |

| Vampire
Knights
By David Hancock
November to
December 2011
David Hancock
focuses on forms of escapism, whether through youth subcultures,
the fantasy worlds of computer games or by directly referencing
historical utopian visions. His work is rooted in the tradition
of Romanticism. The signifiers are taken from historical works of
art, sources and themes. These are suggested through the appropriation
of composition, gestures or objects. David Hancock is currently
undertaking a PhD at the University of Salford. |
