<nettime-ann> WORKSHOP: WEARABLE SOUND EXPERIMENTS

[Jameson Wallace <mason@artafternext.com>]

.

> WORKSHOP: WEARABLE SOUND EXPERIMENTS
>
> This four day workshop introduces basic soft electronics techniques  
> for
> constructing fabric sensors and wearable circuits. Instead of using
> soldering irons and wire, we will use sewing needles and conductive
> thread.The theme of the workshop is hacking sound toys into wearables.
> During the workshop each participant will develop a wearable project,
> paying attention to the placement of components and the relationship
> between body, action and sound. Participants will design wearable
> interactions and deal with issues such as comfort, functionality,
> context and purpose.
>
> We will introduce to a range of available and affordable materials,
> tools and craft techniques for making soft electronics that are easy  
> to
> be continued at home.The textile components covered in this workshop
> will include: soft and stretchy fabric traces, battery pouches,
> hard/soft permanent and plugable connections, pressure, bend, tilt and
> stretch sensors as well as modifying sound toy circuits to be  
> integrated
> in soft circuitry. Techniques will include: sewing, soldering,
> embroidery, fusing, knitting, crochet as well as isolation techniques.
>
> Last but not least, we will be raising this question throughout the
> workshop: why we would ever want to map sounds to our bodies in the
> first place, let alone embed electronics in our clothing.
>
> Participants of all skill levels are welcome and encouraged to bring
> their own old clothes to repurpose.
