Daniel Sauter + Jesus Duran: Mobile Devices as Universal Sensors [Workshop]

This workshop focuses on using the Ketai library for processing, allowing to register the native sensors supported by the Android platform. The workshop covers data capture, processing and export via Ketai Motion, and introduces image capture via Ketai Vision. Bring or share your Android device to take full advantage of your mobile phone as universal sensor.

His work spans a variety of disciplines, Electronic art, Performance art, Robotic art, Sound art, Interactive Sculpture, and Software art.

Jesus Duran is an artist and technologist currently pursuing a Master’s of Fine Art in the New Media Arts program at UIC.
