This workshop aims to explore the senses, by transforming the experience of sound from the auditory to the tactile and visual. How can we re-imagine the experience of sound via textiles and other material substrates? We will look at different computational and electronic platforms for integrating sound creation capabilities into textiles and learn different methods […]
Presented by Jess Marcotte of TAG This workshop will make the case for how hybrid games and alt controllers can serve as an entry-point for moving beyond the status quo of standard gaming interfaces (keyboard, mouse, controller, touchpad) and into new ways of thinking about video games and who plays them. Starting from examples […]
