About this Event

Expand your capabilities as an artist and learn how to incorporate animated LEDs into your artworks. We will give you everything you need (hardware, software, and training) to create a dynamic piece of mixed-media / sculptural "light art" This three part workshop will guide you through the process of designing and creating a piece of dynamic light art. Your piece will take the form of a low-res "screen" made out of 100 individually addressable LEDs diffused by some translucent materials.

We will cover the context and history behind this art form, help you develop the concept for your artwork, and then implement it. You will learn about hardware and software necessary to complete this project.
