“The Computer Hardware Crash course” by Genderchangers
Tutors: Donna Metzlar & Audrey Samson

The Computer Hardware Crash course will consist of taking apart a computer and putting it back together again. We will blow life into jargon like: ports, plugs, bus, interface, printed circuit board, card, integrated, processor, memory, storage, cache, master, slave, the BIOS and booting. Bring along some paper, a pencil and your questions. We will provide the computers and screwdrivers.

The workshop is 4 to 5 hours long and includes a break of about 20 minutes.

Wednesday, 08.07 & Thursday, 09.07, 12:00 - 17:00h workshop
“/mode +v noise” by GOTO10
Tutors: Aymeric Mansoux & Jan-Kees van Kampen

“/mode +v noise” is a project of GOTO10, a collective of international artists and computer programmers. It is based on IRC, the oldest text-based Internet chat environment. This intervention will transform an IRC chat room/channel into a simple, collaborative, text-based online system for making music. Since IRC allows ‘chat bots’- computer programs
that pretend to be human conversation partners -, we will program such a bot to create a collective musical composition environment based on Internet chats. In this workshop, participants will explore two parts of the project: designing sound generators in Supercollider that they can control via a simple IRC bot written in Python.
