Spacebrew Session at ArtsTech Unconference

/

n April 27th we're holding a Spacebrew workshop at the #ArtsTech Unconference in NYC. This session will be a streamlined version of the workshop from our monthly meet-ups.  There will be a lot of other interesting presenters, workshops and performances at this event so we hope to see you there.

Here is a brief description of our workshop:

Spacebrew is an open, dynamically re-routable software toolkit for choreographing interactive spaces. Or, in other words, a simple way to connect interactive things to one another. In this hands-on workshop you will use Arduino, Processing and Spacebrew to dynamically connect a light sensor to various apps and objects. Bring your computer and we’ll bring a handful or Arduino boards and sensors that you can share with other participants. No previous experience with Arduino and Processing are required.

 

 

November Jam Session Rescheduled

While NYC recovers from Hurricane Sandy, we've decided to reschedule the November Jam Session for the following weekend: Saturday, November 10. Snacks and drinks are still on us, but we're counting on you for fun hacks and good storm stories. Until then - stay dry and be safe!

The LAB (& co.) hard at work! Timelapse of the LAB’s Back Bay area during the Spacebrew Jam Session / Hackathon on October 5, 2012 from 3PM-8PM. The Back Bay was one of three areas used to build prototypes to test and develop Spacebrew - an open source dynamic toolkit for creating interactive spaces. Check it out here: spacebrew.cc

Prototypes made in the Back Bay area:
• Heart-rate LED light (brightness based on pulse).
• Motorized monitor flag that can be raised remotely (for getting a headphone-wearing coworker’s attention).
• Motorized laundry line messenger system (clip a note to the line deliver to the other side of the room).
