Erich Berger and I will be teaching a workshop called Tangible Code at Atelier Nord (Oslo, Norway) in February. The aim of the workshop is to provide artists with tools to create new works using custom-built software and hardware. Using the open source platforms Arduino and Processing, participants will experiment with real-world use of these tools.
The workshop is free, but travel and accommodation are not provided. Apply with CV to sense (at) anart.no before January 27th. International applicants welcome. See full text of the call below.
Tangible Code follows up on the Making Sense workshop series that Erich organized last year, and is part of a new series that will take place during 2006. Atelier Nord organized the Generator.x conference, and have a commitment to provide artists with competence to create innovative works within electronic art.
Norwegian artists should also note the call for projects for Atelier Nord’s “Interface & Society” programme, deadline 16 January. Accepted projects will be part financed by Atelier Nord. Read the call for details (in Norwegian).

Recently, code evidently became artistic material and programming artistic practice. The coding artist literally hacks his/her artwork, forms it with skilled hands, touching and communicating with and through it.
Physical electronic interfaces enable the artist to tighten the relation between the artwork and the audience.
Tangible code is a workshop for artists and practitioners who are interested in the concepts of programming and physical computing.
The employed tools are the multiplatform and open source programming and hardware environments Processing and Arduino.
