imagining and inventing new mechanisms for interpreting the environment

Sensor HackLab proposes an art-making methodology where concept and aesthetics emerge through hands-on investigation of electricity and the materiality of technology. Here, we will focus on building devices and prototypes that consider alternative ways of sensing and responding to the environment. We aim to go beyond the capabilities of consumer electronics made to measure the world by imagining technology that connects us to the environment (and the environment to us) in adventurous ways.

This course takes a bottom-up approach to the electronic medium through techniques such as deconstruction; experimental circuit design; pattern recognition and reverse-engineering. By employing processes that make the hidden inner world of machines accessible, it also seeks to critique the economic systems embedded throughout electronic media and its impact on humans and nature.

This course is best suited for students that have already taken an introduction to electronics course with the instructor.

Sensor HackLab schlägt den Pfad einer Kunstmethodik ein, aus der Konzept und Ästhetik aus einer haptischen Untersuchung voN Elektronik und der Materialität von Technik erwächst. Wir konzentrieren uns hier darauf Geräte und Prototypen zu bauen die alternative Möglichkeiten bereitstellen die Umwelt zu erfahren und darauf zu reagieren. Wir zielen darauf ab uns auf ein Abenteuer einzulassen die Grenzen und Möglichkeiten von Geräten, die gemacht sind die Welt zu quantifizieren, hinter uns zu lassen in dem wir Technologien entwickeln die uns mit der Umwelt (und die Umwelt mit uns) verbinden.

Dieser Kurs basiert auf einem bottom-up Ansatz sich dem elektronischen Medium durch Dekonstruktivismus, experimentellem Schaltungsdesign, Erkennen von Mustern und Reverseengineering zu nähern. Der Kurs strebt auch nach einer Kritik in wirtschaftlichen Systemen integrierter elektronischer Medien und deren Einfluss auf Menschheit und Natur mittels Prozessen, die die verborgenen inneren Welten von Maschinen offenbaren.

1 - This is a studio course where students are given time and space in class to develop their work. Presence is taken very seriously. Late arrivals and absence are not tolerated.

2 – Students taking courses in Media Arts Environments (GMU) have priority for this course

3 – Register via email before 14.03.2016 (darsha.hewitt@uni-weimar.de). Please include your program, semester of study and a brief statement of interest (why do you want to take this course?). Students must also acknowledge that they have read the course description online and that they can commit to the class schedule (http://www.uni-weimar.de/medien/wiki/GMU:Sensor_Hacklab).

Note: Applications from students that have signed up for the project module at GMU, will be favoured, because this course is a requirement for those modules.

GMU is interested in projects that bridge notions of Sensing and Performance. Priority for this course will be given to students enrolled in the GMU project module or one of the GMU Werk- and Fach-modules dedicated to bridging notions of sensing and performance together.
