Workshops
One of the characteristics of electronic art based on free technologies is its philosophy of sharing and developing projects within a multidisciplinary and mutual learning environment. Artists, technologists, scientists and programmers often work in teams, something that allow them to transcend their own skills and knowledge to arrive at pieces of enormous sophistication in some cases. This spirit of collaboration, reinforced by the conscious choice of free and open technologies, makes knowledge sharing an act of militancy. That’s why Electronic Fields has also taken great care in the selection of its workshops, always in line with DIY (do it yourself) and DIWO (do it with others) methodologies. The bioart laboratory, our BioLAB, brings us closer to these other intelligences of living organisms and to the production of bioplastic from organic waste, two proposals to deepen the relationship between art, science, technology and society (ACTS). In addition, people interested in audiovisual research have access to a live coding workshop and a workshop on home-made instruments. For those looking for new career opportunities, there is a streaming workshop and a DJ workshop for beginners.
The workshops are free of charge, but there are a limited number of places and registration is required. To sign up, send an email to comunicacion@electronicfields.es, with the name of the workshop in the subject line. Don’t forget to leave your full name and a contact telephone number!
- Learning to stream with OBS. Workshop by Helena Ortiz
In this workshop, aimed exclusively at women, we will investigate the possibilities of the open source programme OBS, a useful tool for those who want to approach professional streaming. - Making Solar Panels with Biological Materials. Workshop by Paula Pin
We will experiment how to make solar panels from biological materials that generate voltage, so that participants can learn about creative working processes with organisms and bacteria. - Production of Bioplastic from Orange Peel. Remonda Workshop
In this workshop you will learn with your own hands how to give a new life to organic waste such as orange peel, making bioplastic sheets that are totally biodegradable and bio-based. - How to make a MIDI keyboard with Arduino. Workshop by Manuel Clavero
Get started in the world of Arduino programming and its relationship with arts! A workshop to combine the passion for music with technology and a DIY spirit. - Introduction to Live Coding. Workshop by b1tdreamer
This workshop will explore the fusion of electronic music and real-time programming, learning how to manipulate samples and synthesizers to create unique soundscapes. - DJ for beginners. Workshop by Helena Ortiz / Pegao Skul
A workshop in which you can learn the basics of becoming a DJ, from installing the software to playing your first tracks, using the open source programme Mixxx.
