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. DJ’s, musicians, installation artists, and anyone who wants or likes to play with synthesized audio will find this a powerful tool for creative expression.

Learn how to create immersive content with widely available 360 cameras. In this workshop, participants will learn how to write, plan, capture and edit 360-degree videos for video art, music video, documentary or fictional projects using immersive language, cameras, and softwares.

In this workshop, we will look at how to create augmented reality experiences using Unity and Vuforia. No experience required but some unity experience is an asset. The participants will build an AR prototype during this online workshop.

In this introductory workshop, participants will learn some fundamental concepts for writing code to make art for the web. This workshop will provide an orientation to working with p5 and requires no previous coding experience.

Video Pool Media Arts Centre has a great studio for recording with a big room, isolation booth and mixing room. Using this venue, Janell will talk about the principles of recording and the process in multi-track recording.

This workshop will introduce you to the basics of Python programming and embedded platforms like the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express board, which can be used to add lights, sound, and interactivity to costumes, props, and art installations. No previous experience with coding or micro-controllers is required to take advantage of what these technologies have to offer.

Participants will be led through scaffolding structures designed to aid in the production of a project with an emphasis on technological considerations. This is a practical guide. Topics include collaboration, critiques, roadblocks, development, problem solving, production, exhibition, and project maintenance. Participants are welcome to bring current projects if you have them!
