Skinterface is a workshop focused on the creation of soft sensors for musical interaction. Participants will be introduced to the basics of electronic textiles from both the hardware, as well as the software approach.
During this 3-part hands-on workshop we will build soft sensors from scratch, and connect them to our own written program, in order to explore augmented textile as a touch-based control surface for human-computer interaction. This is an entry level workshop, no prior knowledge in programming or electronics is required.
Location: Fundación BilbaoArte Fundazioa, Bilbao, SP, 2022
Urban Camp
Five days, five artists, five senses
Found Sound / Esteban de la Torre
Sound incites presence. Sonorous phenomena only exist on the verge of becoming something else. As it unfolds, sound constitutes space and articulates time. We are constantly surrounded by ever changing complex soundscapes. The chaotic noise from our city is mostly numbed out by its inhabitants. The busy streets with its busking traffic set an invisible rhythm to our daily commute. What happens if we stay still for a moment and just listen? What is hidden and becomes apparent if we allow ourselves to fully stop and observe the intricate layers of sound that exist everywhere around us? Will we find music? Does music reside on the creator, or rather on the perceiver?
During the workshop we will use tools to explore and capture the sound of our environment, from onsite field recordings, delicate micro sounds to electromagnetic field sensing. In the spirit of musique concrète, these recordings will be selected, edited and mangled by the participants resulting in a final sound performance.
Location: The Space of Opportunity, Budapest, HU, 2022
EJTECH Masterclass and Workshop
'In collaboration with KASK School Of Arts departments EPAS - European Postgraduate in Arts in Sound and Media Art - Mediakunst we present an EJTECH masterclass in KASK Cinema in Ghent with the support of our EU program Oscillations. The artists will talk about their work process and methods in interaction with sound and textiles.'
Oscillations is an international exchange program exploring the tension between acoustic and visual art forms from a makers perspective. The program aims to facilitate the circulation of artists working with sound across national and disciplinary boundaries as well as to foster knowledge exchange between artist-run spaces. Oscillations is a two year exchange program taking place in 2020-2022 linking four artist-run organisations: Overtoon (BE), bb15 (AT), iii (NL), Lydgalleriet (NO). Oscillations is co-funded by the Creative Europe Program of the European Union.
Location: Royal Academy of Fine Arts KASK & Conservatorium / School of Arts Gent, Belgium, 2022
Artists in residence EJTECH are giving an entry level workshop to electronic textiles, focusing on building an interface for your skin (skinterface). In this workshop, we will focus on sound controlled by the sense of touch.
To achieve this, we will build a simple patch to produce sound in Pure Data (an open source programming language) and work with an arduino, conductive textiles, and pressure sensors to control our patch physically with touch.
At the end of the workshop, we will have a jam session together with our interfaces.

Documentation of the participants final work for the introduction to soft interfaces course week given at The Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design
Introductory course into screen printing interfaces, flexible electronics and soft circuitry. Physical computing and electronics basics will be covered through hands on experience of various microcontrollers. prototyping, developing and achieving a final desired result on a working interactive media piece, using electric paint and assorted conductive compounds. building knowledge on first hand experience, and gathering understanding through a trial and error approach.
