Optical Theremin

你知道吗,光线能说话,光学泰勒明让你聆听阳光的呢喃,有趣的光敏电阻控制振荡器的频率,不仅可以通过插座连接阻值较大的电阻类传感器,通过传感器来改变音高。还可以通过使用各种不同的光源,尤其是闪动的光源,可以创造非常丰富的声音变化。

如果一个人能顺利活到70岁,生命也只有900多个月,生命中,许多司空见惯的事物都用它们自己的方式在表达诉说着自己的故事,只是我们看不到或者听不到而已,那人生岂不是要错过许多美好的瞬间?好声音,不能等!

日期:2013年3月9日(周六)

时间:上午10点-12点

工作坊内容 :

在这次的工作坊中,大家将制作一个简单有趣的设计:光学泰勒明,用光来控制音高!原理是利用光敏电阻控制振荡器的频率来玩高音。更可以通过插座连接阻值较大的电阻类传感器,通过传感器来改变音高。通过使用各种不同的光源,尤其是闪动的光源,可以创造非常丰富的声音变化!

首先你们将会了解光学泰勒明的电路基本原理,以及它声音变化的原因,随后大家动手焊接组装,组装完成后就可以尽情享受探索声音的乐趣了!

X-Bot in following mode

一月 24th, 2013 § 2 comments § permalink

X-Bot is evolving and now already smart enough to follow another X-Bot. What is so special about that you may ask. Well, there is this small quite technical looking robot and there is a program running in X-Bot’s brain (also called Microcontroller or MCU). To follow another robot means that they need to communicate and this works with infrared signals going from the leader to the follower and back. Leo did the programming and the hardware and is willing to share that with you. Just check this website regulary and see when the next workshop is scheduled. Build your own X-Bot in Xinchejian

If you want to support the X-Bot, buy a couple of them or just help to develop it further then please go to http://dreamore.cn/Project/Show/512 and see more details there.

我是一个勇敢的机器人 – 新车间 工作坊 – 1/20/2013

一月 23rd, 2013 § 2 comments § permalink

Last Sunday we had a brilliant workshop at XinCheJian — the brave robot workshop hosted by Yair Reshef, an artist from Iseral. Yair started the brave robot workshops as the idea of compassion in design and robotics is something he has been dealing with and the workshop is the chance to get it on. The brave robots in this project are the ones without micro-controllers and/or sophisticated programming. The robotic design is purely analog and mechanic based. You can make your brave robot without much electronic knowledge but you need to be creative to make your robot unique and have fun!

During the 3 hour workshop, everyone who joined finished their first brave robot. Thanks to the hard work on soldering! Perhaps we could expect a brave robot racing at XinCheJian sometime, why not?

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。
