Workshops and presentations

Circuit bending workshop

Hosted by Kokeellisen elektroniikan seura and Tuomo Tammenpää, you have the chance to learn from abusers and benders of circuits. Koelse and Tammenpää have a lot of experience of both modifying existing equipment and generating sound, noise and even music out of things that you would not expect to be used for this purpose

Biomedical research graphics programming

In his presentation, Ville Rantanen's will describe his work and the bioimaging in general. The use of computer graphics in biomedical research is an interesting approach to the visuals we see in demos and games - the need of powerful visualisations is the same.

Animata - real-time background projections

Animata is a real-time animation software, designed to create interactive background projections for concerts, theatre and dance performances, and promotional screenings. The peculiarity of the software is that the animation - the movement of the puppets, the changes of the background - is generated in real-time, making continuous interaction possible. This ability also permits that physical sensors, cameras or other environmental variables can be attached to the animation of characters, creating a cartoon reacting to its environment. The software can be connected with many pieces of external software in order to make use of the possibilities of these applications in the
fields of image processing, sound analysis, or motion capture. These applications can analyse for instance sound input, or user movement, and this data could drive animations reacting to these environmental changes in real-time.

Bio: The development of Animata was started in the Kitchen Budapest Media Lab by Peter Nemeth, Gabor Papp and Bence Samu in 2007. Based on their broad range of common interests including generative graphics, microelectronics, and electronic arts they decided to create an open source tool for animators, new media artists and vj's that can be used for interactive installations as well as live performances.
