Sensing / Acting workshop
Instructor Sam Sheffield

Who says your artwork has to sit still and be unresponsive to viewers. This workshop will introduce students to microcontrollers, a small computer you can use to detect, motion, heat, light touch or many other things. These devices can also allow you to control movement and talk to more traditional computers to control video, sound or whatever else you would like. In particular we will look at the Arduino microcontroller.
