Design Visualization Laboratory Workshop Series: Session 4
Circuit Bending Workshop (w. Michael Una), 6-9pm

This workshop will review the art of both circuit bending and building to create and manipulate electronic sounds and interactive installations. A hands-on introduction to the hacking of existing hardware circuits will be provided. New circuits will also be built to integrate both sound and light sensor inputs.

Workshops are open to students, faculty, and staff. Class seats are limited, so please RSVP to Tesia (tkosma2@uic.edu) by February 23th.

The instructor, Michael Una, is a Chicago-based artist that integrates traditional musical instruments, handbuilt analog electronics, video processes, digital synthesis, and repurposed objects to build harmonic wave patterns. His work investigates the creation of audiophysical experiences through the relationship of energy, human consciousness and physical space.

The Design Visualization Laboratory (DVL) is a shared high-tech computational studio operating under the Electronic Visualization and Industrial Design programs.

The 2007/08 DVL Workshop series is organized by Tesia Kosmalski (MFA candidate, EV).
