/mode +v noise is an intense 3 day workshop for up to 10 participants, looking at how to build an Internet chat based music platform.
The workshop will give you the opportunity to create your own software sound synthesiser and different chat bots that will be used to manipulate and turn your chat into a music score. To achieve this, we will use free software such as Python, Supercollider, Puredyne, Emacs and more!

The workshop is aimed at participants with basic experience in programming, scripting, or markup languages, even if it’s just (X)HTML/CSS. You do not have to be an experienced programmer, but if you are, that’s good too. As long as you are not afraid to work in a terminal, you’ll be fine! In general, we are looking for people who have already experienced the “culture shock” of using plain text to
describe a process and want to take this further or discover creative programming using free software. The workshop will be adapted to the participants’ experience and profiles, but do not hesitate to contact us for extra details or if you are not sure you will fit. You will go home with the software and code you wrote during the workshop, and encouraged to share it and develop it further!

Email frances.bossom@arnolfini.org.uk with your applications. Places will be allocated on the basis of the strength of the case you make to take part.

DEADLINE: 16 November.
Notification of outcome: 21 November.


At the end of the workshop, everything will be left on site in the gallery and available online as part of the Craftivism exhibition at Arnolfini (12 December 2009 – 14 February 2010).

Unlike software possible to build hardware that is not just a collection of simple primitive electrical systems, or on the other hand, an assemblage of industry built low level components. So what is open about open source hardware? Many embraced Open Source for political reasons, and do the same now with open source hardware. But isn’t that too simple? It is time to shed some light onto the dark side of Open Source hardware.
