Also depending on available time frame, an intro to creating a case for your electronics board will be demonstrated via the free 3D modeling program TinkerCAD.
Requirements: Please be sure to bring a laptop with you, preferably running Windows (or Mac OS). You can take the electronics kit that you worked on in class for $20. Get a head start and see our powerpoint presentation and download the Arduino Software Development Kit (SDK) here prior to the event:
RASPBERRY PI by Farrukh Zia | 4:30 - 6pm
Have guidance getting started with electronics using Raspberry Pi Zero, a platform for making interactive electronics projects. With literacy of Raspberry Pi Zero, it enables one to use sensors, motors, LEDs and a range of devices to create. Raspberry Pi represents on of the best starting points for working with code. We will be giving a hands-on introduction where you will be able to assemble and program your own electronics projects. In this 90-minute workshop, we will talk about the considerations involved in creating an electronics project, how basic prototyping can be done with Raspberry Pi using Python programming language and advice for more advanced projects.
Requirements: Please bring a laptop running Windows or MacOS to connect to the Raspberry Pi Zero kit.
It is with a heavy heart that we dedicate this workshop to Ms. Aryuna Dashidorzhina, who passed away unexpectedly this April. Aryuna was a dedicated creative technologist, artist and educator; a passionate supporter of women in technology; and originally scheduled to lead this workshop. We will miss Aryuna's brains and creative spark in our community and at the Arts Hub. May all those who knew her be comforted knowing that we plan to carry on her life's work at Creative Tech Week.
FREE RADIO STATIONS: Building the radioOrgan by Ed Bear | 4:30 - 6:30pm
The workshop will cover the basics of running a low-power radio station for art and fun, from the circuitry to the legal limits. At the conclusion of this two hour workshop every participant will have one hacked iTrip transmitter which is secretly a synthesizer!!! Surplus and discarded electronics are ubiquitous and ripe with creative applications. Griffin Electronics’ iTrip, for example, happens to be a compact, programmable radio station. The rapid versioning of Apple products and the company’s restrictive accessory policies have left almost every iteration of the iTrip obsolete and very cheap!
This workshop is the first in a multi-part curriculum which develops the radioOrgan platform that redesigns the iTrip as creative and educational experiences. Material and tools presented in workshops later this summer will connect the iTrip to Ableton Live, Max/MXP, Processing, Unity3D, and more. Suggested donation for materials: $20.
Reservation is required!

An interactive salon of art, innovation, education and conversation, will take place on May 17, 2017 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm at the United Nations Church Center at 777 UN Plaza, in NYC. The salon is a program of A View From The Cloud, a multi-media platform to examine the role of art and technology in sharpening how we see the world, and creating solutions to help achieve humanitarian objectives and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Coinciding with Creative Tech Week NYC, this event will bring together innovators from across fields and invited guests to engage with ideas, challenges, questions and interventions.
Presenters for the event that will take place within a setting of art include MIT Neuroscientist Dr. Emile Bruneau; Astronaut, Nicole Stott; humanoid robot Bina 48 and Bruce Duncan Terasem Foundation Managing Director; Paula DiPerna, strategic global environmental and philanthropic policy advisor; United Nations Peacekeeping, Department of Field Support, Eduardo Artigas; Kristin Gutekunst, Executive Producer UN Virtual Reality, New Media & Immersive Content; Directors and educators from various international academic institutions and UN agencies.
The program will feature the artwork of Shahzia Sikander, Richard Mosse, Michael Najjar, Federico Solmi, Claire Jervert, Massimiliano Fusari, Elias Crespin, Jacopo Baboni-Schilingi, and others to be announced.
A View From the Cloud is inspired by the ‘overview effect’—astronauts’ transformative experience of society’s interdependence, as a result of seeing the earth in space. AVFTC connects rare insights with practical solutions and individuals and organizations working to achieve them in diverse fields.
Co-produced by Streaming Museum and World Council of Peoples for the United Nations, A View From The Cloud is a multi-year globally touring project that was introduced at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza - “the Gateway to the United Nations”, in September 2015. Hundreds attended a program that included the film Planetary, art, and presentations by UN Assistant Secretary General on Climate Change Janos Pasztor and Astronaut Ron Garan. Since then, the exhibition and public programs have toured to Kvinesdal, Helsinki, and Miami, with programs planned for international cities.
"Exp.Ins.Moon" is an interactive installation and experimental instrument that incorporates projection and sound generated by a wireless sculpture made of plexiglas, Arduino, electronic components and custom touch sensors. By touching the sculpture at various points, participants create different sounds; these sounds then generate changes in the projection.
It is an analysis of the social and cultural adoption of tangible user interface. Globally, touch devices are increasingly common; people understand how to use them. “Exp.ins.Moon” analyses this technology and makes use of this new common understanding to fuse sound and visuals into realtime interactivity.

Daniel Odham, SVP of Production at Pearl Media breaks down the anatomy of an brand experience.
Brand experiences are the brass ring of the marketing realm, resulting in shiny program recap videos with millions of views and engagements. That’s the dream anyways for nearly every marketer, aspiring to one day craft their own experience and stamp their name on it. However, the hardship becomes apparent almost immediately. Despite having a brilliant idea, fleshing out the pieces, parts and process is a realm of unfamiliarity that freezes great ideas dead in their tracks.
So what cogs are required to breathe life into a great brand experience idea? This is Daniel’s realm. How much does a brand experience cost? What is the process to completion? Is there a huge pool of talent required? Who is responsible for what? Using two case studies from JetBlue and AT&T, Daniel dives into a complete analysis of a brand experience’s anatomy.

How can we use Creativity and Technology to confront people and make them empathize with (and take action on) the realities of gender inequality?
Y&R New York’s The Whole Story Project is a project that allows for the placement of virtual statues of notable women in history. The aim is to create parity in public representation and share the accomplishments of women.
The project’s mobile app and online platform, designed along with Current Studios, makes it possible for people to see, share and add new virtual statues alongside existing public statues. Using augmented reality and GPS location technology, users locate and view statues using markers on a map and can also find details of their contributions.
The Whole Story Project will work with creators and developers worldwide to build and place statues of women in their own cities. The Whole Story Project is also championing efforts to create physical statues of real women in communities around the world such as the Monumental Women campaign of the Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony Statue Fund in New York City.
Visceral, virtual, and meditative, Sanctuary is an interactive performance installation and an invitation for a ritual journey. Through the ancient motif of a labyrinth, audiences will witness and engage in invented mythologies and summoning practices. Sanctuary explores themes of self-care through the power of storytelling, authorship, virtual realities and performance.
The group's year long investigation of self-care is based on the idea of self preservation as an act of political resistance. The artists draw from both personal and shared experiences to craft original stories that promote a space of reciprocity. Balancing technology's role in spirituality with the rawness of bodies in a communal sacred space, Sanctuary straddles the fine line between full immersion and self-reflection. Performance becomes an act of survivance. As we invest in our collective imagination, we care for each other by validating the divine in us all.
Sanctuary was developed at Brooklyn College as a thesis project for the Performance and Interactive Media Arts (PIMA) MFA program. PIMA provides students with training, theoretical and technical knowledge, and practical experience in the conceptualization and production of collaborative, multi-disciplinary artworks.Visceral, virtual, and meditative, Sanctuary is an interactive performance installation and an invitation for a ritual journey.

We will experience the other-worldly, interactive soundscape that is "Walkie-Talkie Dream Angles", composed by electro-acoustic composer/performer Dafna Naphtali in collaboration with Richard Rodkin, creator of U-GRUVE AR, who produced a customized version as a dedicated, standalone, iPhone app.
While originally created for the 2016 NoiseGate Festival, the piece has been updated with new sonic material for Creative Tech Week 2017, a city-wide festival devoted to New York's burgeoning Art/Tech scene which runs from May 12 -21, 2017.
"Walkie-Talkie Dream Angles" occupies Washington Square Park, one of the City’s most popular, and home to the iconic Washington Square Arch. The majesty of the Arch aside, the Park itself consists of a multitude of microcosms, from the Fountain, to the dog-runs, playgrounds, and the famous chess plaza, all of which provide a rich backdrop for musical experimentation.
Ms. Naphtali, who is both a professor and former student of New York University Steinhardt, describes the work:
"'walkie-talkie dream angles' is an opportunity to bring a favorite urban environment of mine to musical life and present it in a unique and individual way. With pre-recorded environmental sounds from the area that I will audio-process, I layer these sounds with my voice, and use some thoughtful strategizing about site-specific listening, interactivity and attention span."
Ms. Naphtali will be on hand to discuss her process for planning and composing the piece, as well as answer questions from the group.
We’ll find a local venue after the soundwalk and will relax and discuss the experience over food and drink. I hope you’ll join us for this sonic exploration of one of the City’s most rich and diverse public spaces.
NOTE:
To experience the piece, you will need to download the Walkie-Talkie Dream Angles app on the iTunes App Store. It is NOT currently available within the U-GRUVE app, so you must download it separately.
