Designed with contemporary artists and dancers in mind; this will begin with an overview of motion capture techniques available today. The virtual hands-on component of the workshop will explore RADiCAL, an AI-powered motion capture tool, to generate data files from web camera recordings and apply the data to animate readymade avatars or 3D objects in Unity (free software). Workshop open to all skill levels, no previous experience is necessary.

With the arrival of interactive web-based technology this presentation questions why online art exhibitions are often reduced to a collection of static JPEG files. This session takes a deep dive into the future of online art exhibitions. Participants will be shown digital artworks that push boundaries of traditional exhibition formats. Discussion around implementation and creation of interactive and engaging digital art exhibitions will also take place and include latest tools and platforms.

In this workshop, participants will see how coding can be used in musical, performative and literary arts. By using tools such as livecodingYoutube, Hydra, Inverse.website and Sonic Pi to name a few. They will see how expressive and creative code will with the benefit of seeing how it can be use in a collaborative setting. Participants will see how improvised writing and coding can lead to various outcomes, musically, as well as, how to use network elements to your advantage, when writing or producing work.

Julia Krolik and Owen Fernley have created award winning videos using code, projected audio responsive visuals onto gallery walls, and launched interactive web installations. In this workshop they highlight some of these projects from their data-focussed creative coding art practice. They discuss the motivation and challenges faced behind each project along with the tools used to make these projects possible.

This workshop will introduce you to the basics of Sonic Pi, a software synthesizer which allows anyone to create music as computer code. In addition to receiving a tour of the Sonic Pi platform, you will also be introduced to the basics of programming in Ruby, a popular language for web development.
