AndrewZoomedLearning how to create with electronics can be a very challenging process for an individual to learn without significant support. Many concepts and skills need to be internalized before independent learning and development can efficiently take place. In response to this obstacle for developing media creators, Video Pool Media Arts Centre will provide a mini-course in DIY Technology Design and Creation for Winnipeg media artists.

Sound: Introducing…
This class is a pre-requisite for the three workshops that follow it. A solid understanding of the fundamentals of audio is key to making great recordings.
