for artists interested in training their own machine learning model from their own small data sets.

AI is not magic.

In this workshop we look at how you can create your own Machine Learning Model using the Micro:bit.

Your tutor will show you how a closed off, small data set AI model can be trained and used to recognise movement and gestures. You will collect motion data, train a machine learning model to detect patterns, then program the micro:bit to run that model.

Micro:bit CreateAI is a free, browser-based tool that lets you train a micro:bit to recognise your physical movements (clapping, waving, jumping, etc.) using the device's accelerometer. Micro:bit Educational Foundation

You will finish the workshop with your very own personally trained interactive artwork, and an insight into pop culture AI tools.

In the present times of continuously scrolling feeds of adverts and fomo, we must remember that the internet can do more. Let's make websites that are artworks; that are useless; that are playful.

We'll explore examples of the old web and more recent works and use them alongside in-workshop discussion to create your own browser based artwork

You will not need to know anything about code going in. This won't be a deep dive into web development. It will be informal and hopefully fun.

You will learn just enough to:
-Give a webpage a structure: headings, paragraphs, images, links (HTML).
-Make it look how you want: colours, fonts, layout, maybe some blinking and wiggling (CSS).
-Make it respond to you: things that change when you click, hover, or move your cursor around (Javascript)

We'll finish the session by presenting what we’ve made to each other!

🔊Your Laptop is an Instrument 💻

Learn Pure Data from scratch. We'll cover the basics of this powerful open-source tool for creating interactive music and sound. Perfect for beginners ready to explore building synthesizers, live coding, and digital composition.

In the workshop we will start with some pre-built building blocks and patch them together to make our own sequencers and synthesisers. We will then think about how we could perform together.

Trouble Shoot is an informal meet up, mostly online through Zoom, for artists who would like to share what they're working on for feedback and discussion with others, who are interested in or use creative tech/new media in their work.

There's no expectation for sharing or speaking during sessions. As always the organisers, Sean and Nush, will start us off with sharing to take that pressure off.

In each Troubleshoot session, artists can meet to:

>Share works-in-progress (optional)
>Get constructive feedback
>Chat about ideas and challenges
>Meet potential collaborators
>Get advice on funding

If you would like to present work or discuss your ideas you can let us know when the meet up starts or feel free to email us before. Email [email protected] if you want to discuss before.
