Inhibition
Please submit your participation at the workshop until Wednesday 30 November 2016 by completing the form.

Are you interested in open-source software/hardware, 3D printing, programming, single-board computers and electronics? Are you up for experimentation with analogue amplifiers, filters, machine learning, artificial intelligence, data processing, algorithmic sound synthesis and paradigms of brain-computer coupling? Would you like to make your own ‘intelligent’ headset that will be able of performing EEG (electroencephalography) and composing algorithmic synthesis of electronic music/sound?

In the context of his work “Inhibition”, media artist Marinos Koutsomichalis will lead two workshops, introducing the participants to open technologies, creative coding and hardware design as well as guiding them into prototyping their own individuated headsets.
Each four-day workshop will conclude with an open to the public showcase of the participants creative outcomes and a sound performance (possibly with the participation of the audience). The produced headsets will be exhibited alongside Koutsomichalis’ original prototype at the “Hybrids” exhibition, before they are eventually returned to their makers.

10-11 December 2016 | 15:00-18:00
3D Printing Workshop
Please reserve your participation at the workshop until Thursday 8 December 2016 at digital@onassis.org

Learn the basics of 3D Printing and how we can use it to create works of art that lie somewhere between the physical and the digital.
Are you interested in open technologies and 3D Printing? Come visit the Hybrids exhibition workshop area to learn the basic principles of modelling with SketchUp and get to know the digital returns to physical through the process of 3D printing. Starting with the New Year’s charm, you will be able to create and 3D print, your own and personal artifact.

Requirements: Participants will need to bring their own laptop and have the free SketchUp software installed.

I search, therefore I am

How can we create hybrid art-works out of the personal data collected on us by Internet platforms?
The use of search engines is an integral part of the everyday lives of most people online. What colour, shape or tune are your personal data like?

Define characteristics for your daily search engine data, and explore their weight, volume and quantity, bending them with image, sound and 3D printing technologies, to give shape to your personalized search history. Referencing her research and artistic practice, media artist Kyriaki Goni leads a two-day workshop on the ever relevant theme of managing our personal data, in a context of debate and increasing awareness. During the concluding phase of the workshop, once participants have shaped their data into a solid form, they will have to decide whether they are going to delete their search history, in exchange for a personalized deletion certificate.
Requirements: Participants will need to bring their own laptop, and to be using Internet search engines often.
