How can an electronic system be used as an interface of experimental enquiry? Can you create an expressive interface for playing electronic music? What is the importance of networks (humans) and decentralised knowledge in relation to technology? How do you feel about DIY instruments, sensors, and controllers?
The Onassis Cultural Centre invites artists, musicians, sound engineers, designers and programmers, to participate in a three-day hackathon where they will collaboratively create new instruments and sounds, and explore new ways to make music, according to int.ert.gr
The DIY Instrument Making & Hacking workshop will be held on January 11-13 and its creations will be presented at an open performance by the participants.
