Expanded Sense Workshop by Dan Tapper
This lecture and hands-on workshop, designed and led by media artist Dan Tapper, bridged the gap between technology and perception and offered a hands-on approach to creating tools that unveil the unseen aspects of the environment.
Topics explored:
Understanding Sensor Basics: An introduction to various simple sensors - their functions, capabilities, and applications.
Creating Sensory Extensions: Learn how to use these sensors to build simple sonic devices that extend our natural senses, allowing us to perceive environmental factors beyond human capabilities.
Interactive experimentation: Engage in hands-on experimentation using piezo elements to detect vibrations, photo-resistors for light sensing, and more, translating these sensor inputs into creative outputs.
Dan Tapper is an artist and creative technologist interested in the intersection between information and experience. His work focuses on the unseen and unheard, using radio and imaging technologies to capture the sounds of the earth’s ionosphere, map supernovas, and capture microscopic worlds. By utilizing elements of conceptual art and science in his work, Tapper draws attention to the unperceived wonders that surround us and the poetry that can be found in data.
