.Date: November 20. to 24. 2007 .Location: Kunstarkaden Sparkassenstr.3, 80331, MunichU+S Marienplaz. .Description: The workshop aims at introducing Theremin-sensors as a new concept towards physical computing, focusing more on creative tasks in a form of long rehearsal. The main purpose is to explore for ways of interaction and collaboration in the networked interactive environments, build an audiovisual THEREMIN-SENSORS ORCHESTRA and perform with it.a). T-sensors introduction /Andrey Smirnov/ We will try to make an unique audio/visual body-related instruments and play with air and water flows, vibrations of light beams, temperature, different mechanical vibrations, etc. Five audio-visual installations, based on various applications of Teremin-sensor technology will be set up SensorLand to be used during the workshop as a ready made instruments as well as in the final performances. You will learn: Physical and technical details regarding the motion tracking. Basic principles of operation of the Theremin based interactive systems. Detecting motion and measuring it. Art and music applications of interactive motion tracking systems. Ways to integrate T-sensors in performance, dance, video, sound/art installations. How to build an audiovisual orchestra and perform with it. b). Network /Givan Bela/ An important issue in this workshop is to create a network together to experiment with sharing sounds, images and data in order to create connected pieces to perform with. We consider it more important to make a good performance with the given electronics than to be only busy with the electronics or programming, so most of the time will be spent playing with Theremin-sensors in a given environments SensorLand. You will learn: How to create an interactive system with your laptop. How to involve your body and gesture into your interactive system. How to unite different laptops, platforms, operating system into the network to share sounds, images and data in order to create common interactive environment. .Expected outcome: A musical performance of the workshop participants using Theremin based instruments.Palrticipants profile: This will be certainly of interest to any dancer, musician, visualist /video artist/, acrobat, theater player or whoever is toying around with technology. Bring your basic skills and instruments and let's turn it all into a new instrument to perform with together.Female artists encouraged to apply! .More or less Schedule: Day 1 (12:00 to 17:00) - Introduction into the T-s technology.Day 2 (12:00 to 17:00) - Introduction in pd/max programming, with specifics of the T-s objects. Day 3 (12:00 to 17:00) - Introduction into sound and visual modeling, how to connect them to the T-s. Day 4 (12:00 to 17:00) - Connecting the T-s to the network and performing together. Different setups. Day 5 (12:00 to 14:00) - Making T-s networked pieces. Rehearsals during daytime. 15:00 to 18:00 - Combined rehearsal - everyone should be performance-ready. 20:00 - 22:00 - Performance .Requirements: Some skills in MAX/MSP, PD or similar.Minimal configuration: Laptop with PD or MAX/MSP installed One free USB port Personal headphones 5 m. long /or longer/ audio cable for each participant to connect to the main mixer (mono). Cable should have appropriate plug to fit participant's sound card and jack plug at the mixer side. It is important to remember that in many cases the use of extra software will result in significant increase of latency and other possible timing problems. .Language: English..Regulations: Max 15 participants.The cost of the workshop is 50 euro. Students, female artists and those who are taking part in the second workshop - 40 euro. Digital USB sensors for testing, experimenting and performance will be provided by instructor /15 sets/. .About facilitators: Andrey Smirnov is an independent researcher and developer of electronic music techniques, with a
particular interest in design and development of both hard- and software sensor
technology with complex relationships between the performer's actions and the
interpretation of this information in non-linear methods using custom software.
He is a founder of the Theremin Center for Electro acoustic Music and Multimedia in
Moscow, where he gives lectures and workshops on the basics of electro acoustic music,
musical acoustics and psychoacoustics, resent computer music technologies and multimedia.

THE LAST THEATRE SHOW EVER September 21 - 27, 2009 or how to dismantle theatre by making an electro-digital instrument out of it. | The project is an experiment about trying to build a new future for an old discipline, in 7 days. Electronic and digital artists use their tools to change all the aspects and parameters of conventional theatre. It will be realized in two WORKSHOPS/ACTS. The first workshop/ACT will start up in Munich at i-camp on September 21, 2009 and continue over seven days leading to 'THE LAST THEATRE SHOW EVER' on September 27, 17:00 | Invitation Come in! | Launched by: Natalia Borissova, aa-vv.org Gívan Belá, societyofalgorithm.org | Host/location: Neues Theater München  | Kindly supported by: Bezirk Oberbayern  Department of Arts and Culture of Munich  |
