Wednesday Presenters/本周演讲者介绍

诸 晓鸣 is Visually impaired, self taught to program in C++ and PHP and works to improve accessibility across computers for others in the same situation, from text to speech and information accessibility development and builds games!

Matthew DeBlock has invented his own writing style that looks like a script language however it encodes roman alphabet, if anyone has designed a font before, now imagine how hard it is to design an entire writing style!

The creative programming meeting aims to bring together everybody who is interested in programming. 

In the first meeting we hope to find the tools to use to gather our knowledge to be able to realize together a project. All participants will have an opportunity to give a brief description of their idea (and occasionally we will breakout into smaller groups based on shared interests)

In previews discussions people expressed their interest in Visualising data with D3.js:

Or highlighted the simplisity of paper.js:

It seems to be easy to connect javascript to everything which understands OSC in one or another way:

or we do something totally different:

Time: Monday, March 18 at 7PM
Location: Xinchejian – 1035 Changle Lu, 2nd floor, Near Wulumuqi Lu – 长乐路1035号2楼,近乌鲁木齐路
Event Organizers: Olaf Hochherz

Project City

二月 2nd, 2013 § 3 comments § permalink

We’ve started a new project in Xinchejian, the Project City, code name “Metropolis“.

More about the project will be in the wiki soon as we just begun. Today we built the table where the city will be installed.

IMG_6316 IMG_6317 IMG_6321 IMG_6315 IMG_6329

The project will be a fusion of 3D projection and robot hardware combined with mechanics and interactive components.

This project is open for all members with interest. There will be a huge part in 3D mapping/projection and this content has to be created too. The robotics and mechanical part will include Arduino based hardware for the movements, communication between the central computer and the city and interface for interactive components.

If you think you could help with something then just let us know.

 

VJ Chromaphase at XinCheJian this Wednesday

一月 21st, 2013 § 1 comment § permalink

Chromaphase (aka  Matthieu Tondeur) will be presenting this Wednesday at XinCheJian. In addition to having his own Wikipedia page, Matthieu is currently doing exciting 3D mapping video DJ  using Mao Livehouse as his home base. Here’s his self introduction:

I’m a french artist-designer from Paris. I’m doing 3D mapping, VJing live show with music producers, DJ, live bands, etc…
P20927-2303323
I also worked for Huawei Mobile R&D where I lead a small innovation team makingn UI and GUI for Mobile Phones. Now I’m a freelance artist working on different projects that involve live music, art expo, interactive design and video games. (and maybe robots !! haha)
What I will speak about :
1- Introduction of myself (mon parcours)
2- What about my style of 3D mapping and live show (whole creation process) [Will make a live mapping demo]
3- Showing and explain what i did with my team in Huawei Mobile and my creative management method
4- Introduce my upcoming project and ask people that have some skill to join these projetcs
Which could lead to :
IMG_3677
3D mapping workshop (A to Z creation workshop, research, process, inspiration, technical solution, etc..)
This workshop won’t be too much about technical skills coz it’s damn easy. But it will focus on creativity, story telling, creative content creation, innovative ways to use 3d mapping… Then we can make a small show with everyone’s projects/creations. And if they are good, try to find place/gallery to show it. Content could be traditional art to processing only, depending on the interest of participants. Whatever your field, you can create something!
Here’s video of one of my latest show in Guangzhou :
And here’s a video that resume my VJ live performance for the 2011/2012 season
Thanks everyone!

神奇的纸电路

十月 15th, 2012 § 3 comments § permalink

既上次Sunny Sun老师在新车间推出深为孩子们喜爱的“导电面团”以后,这回我们又推出了更为方便,好玩的“纸电路”。纸电路是MIT High Low Lab开发的新奇互动电子艺术项目的一个子项目。它成功的将表面贴装发光二极管(LED)和艺术结合在一起,制作出各种互动的电子卡片。看看下面的这些纸电路作品,你带能猜出来我在说什么了。

说到艺术和电子,千万不要被这些名词吓倒了。纸电路的推出,实际上是将以前复杂的,乱糟糟的电路艺术化。在这里,电路里面的一根根导线绝不再是面无表情,深沉的隐者,而是变成了可以随你的控制,改变形状,改变路线的翩翩舞者。只要你愿意,你可以将电子线路摆成心形,摆成小车,甚至可以融入到您孩子的的艺术创作画中,让电路和您孩子的艺术创作融为一个有机的整体(其实,本人觉得,相对于导电面团,这个项目女孩子应该会更喜欢了)。

除此以外,由于电路本身使用的材料都非常安全,也非常容易获得,大部分原材料你在厨房里拼拼凑凑就可以开始你的电路工作了。从此,孩子们做手工再也不需要花费大量的时间准备材料了。同时由于材料的简化设计,纸电路为孩子们安全玩电路提供了保障。

在此次工坊, 我们将提供所有纸电路需要的全部材料。您和您的孩子将在电路中将学习到

1) 什么是纸电路

2) 孩子们将会在制作一个基本纸电路的过程中明白电路的基本原理

3) 制作纸电路需要注意的事项

4) 纸电路材料从哪里获得?

5) 活动的最后,孩子们会有一个自由创意时间,通过基本电路的掌握,孩子们将发挥自己的创造力,创造出他们自己的纸电路,并带回家中。

6) 同时为了方便孩子们回家继续创作,每个孩子将获得一个材料包,里面有一些家里不容易获取的材料。

活动时间:

10月20号(周六)下午2~4PM

活动地点:

上海新车间: 上海市长乐路1035号2楼(长乐路,乌鲁木齐南路路口)地铁7号线出来步行10分钟即到)

活动收费:

每个孩子:100元(陪同大人免费),通过新车间网站报名 90元(点击活动报名链接即可报名)

最大报名人数:15个孩子

其他要求:

孩子年龄:最好6岁以上,操作过程中可能会使用到剪刀,需要家长帮助。

注: 纸电路(paper circuit)是美国MIT 互动媒体实验室开发的互动电子电路。此次活动得到了发明人 Jie, Qi的指导和准许。再次,也感谢MIT Media Lab和Jie, Qi的无私奉献和指导。

周三开放日更新 2012/08/21 每周三总有好戏在新车间2楼上演,除了库存丰富的各式软饮和啤酒,本周的演讲者也都准备就绪:官微宏 (围脖号 @aGregu), Ben Houge, 还有来自 Haxlr8r中国的朋友们就等着给大家露一手了!

 nixie tubes by aguegu
创客官微宏 (围脖号 @aGuegu)很多想法和创作都已被成功的商业化,相信他的经验会给很多朋友们启发。当晚重头戏是聊聊70年代的数码官,还有晒晒他的3D8S作品 - 一个基于 Arduino 平台的 8x8x8 LED 光立方显示模块,包括一共512个LED!
Cyrill Ebersweiler是haxlr8r.coom的创始人,网站总部在深圳,着力扶持硬件加速项目。该网站的创始人和工作人员将在周三下午到访新车间;时间允许的话还能留下来参加开放日的演讲。可惜的是,Cyrill可能将要赶回家,和太太一同迎接家庭新成员的诞生!大家一同来祝贺!
Ben Houge有着16年开发电子游戏的丰富经验,包括4年任职于上海ubisoft开发 Tom Clancy 的 EndWar。本周六(25日)他将在新车间开设 MAX/MSP工作坊 (具体介绍:http://xinchejian.com/event/?ee=143); 之后即将离开上海,有兴趣的童鞋可不要错过。目前Ben身兼数职,一边在波士顿的伯克利音乐学院 (Berklee College)教授电子游戏音乐,同时与MIT麻省理工大学合作,共同研究音乐学分析 http://mit.edu/music21/

Wednesday Meetup – Free – @ the NEW XinCheJian – 7-9pm – FREE

四月 18th, 2012 § 0 comments § permalink

XinChejian is still under construction but that wont stop us from keeping up with our promise of a Wednesday meetup, we’ve got 2 presentations this evening along with a sneak peek at the new space.

7pm – free @ XinCheJian 2.0 1035 Changle Rd, 2nd floor – 上海徐汇区长乐 路1035号2楼 see here for a map and directions: http://xinchejian.com/contact-us/?lang=zh

Unfortunately those wishing to hack tonight will not have all of the tools normally available, but nothing stopping us from getting them out and putting them away when we’re done!

=Wednesday Presenters=

James Tichenor, interaction designer from Rockwell Lab (http://www.rockwellgroup.com/lab) has just flown into Shanghai and will present tonight at XinCheJian on some of his crazy-out-there projects he’s worked on using electronics and arts!

Qichen and Rockets will present their Home Sous Vide machine that they hacked together in 20 minutes, along with some egg tasting which i hear is out of this world.

=Coming up soon=

机器车竞赛 – Roboracing Competition – 2012/04/22 – http://xinchejian.com/event/?ee=110
Are you ready!? Line followers, Autonomous’rs and remote specialists, take part in the 2nd race of this year, come show us what you’re made of! the 2012/04 track has been published on the wiki and demo’d at Barcamp! http://wiki.xinchejian.com/wiki/RoboRacing

Processing class (English instructions) – 2012/04/28 – http://xinchejian.com/event/?ee=114
Finally, given the huge success of the Ravens Processing classes in chinese, he’s -beenforced- agreed to run the class in English! he is doing some awesome stuff.

=Recent changes at XinCheJian=

Membership is now Just 100rmb per month per member, for an additional 200rmb a month you can also store your projects/stuff in the space in a box that does not exceed 50x50x30cm, you can contribute more money if you want as a donation. Failure to pay membership will result in your junk being stored at XinCheJian becoming a donation to the space. XinCheJian will no longer offer community parts but instead sell them in sets, for example 10 resistors for 1rmb to cut down on waste and mess. Members will have access to the space and the tools, strangers must be accompanied by a member at all times and will be responsible for that friend during that period at XinCheJian. For Full details see http://wiki.xinchejian.com/wiki/Policy or http://wiki.xinchejian.com/wiki/Policy/zh
