Creative Tech Workshop January 2021

Overview


Acoustic Commons invites participants to join a one-week workshop, taking place online and across project spaces in Aix (Locus Sonus), Ljubljana (CONA), Barrow (Full of Noises), London (Soundcamp), with other locations to join.

The workshop focuses on skills exchanges and digital capacity for live environmental streaming in Year 2 of Acoustic Commons, with a focus on ‘off-grid’ working.

Participants can connect to a project space in person (where possible within local restrictions) or remotely via networked online sessions at the start/end of each day. Participants will be invited to share their streams, projects and outcomes at the end of the week as part of an online event at acousticommons.net

Areas covered will include:
  • Off-Grid audio streaming
  • Using the Locuscast mobile app
  • Hardware review - Rasberry Pi hats, audio interfaces etc
  • Making microphones
  • Listening groups

Places for some of the workshop sessions may be limited - please register your interest using the short online form at:
and we will contact you with further details.

Acoustic Commons is a collaboration between four arts organisations and a range of associate partners, each with close links to a specific site of cultural and/or natural heritage value. The project draws upon and develops those links, through a range of creative and technical approaches and innovative ways to engage with audiences and places.
