WORKSHOP: Soul of the Beast:
The Magic of Chance/Chaos
WORKSHOP : SOUL OF THE BEAST | the magic of chance/chaos
A workshop looking into the magic movements of code. Use the power of chance/chaos as part of your expression!
In this workshop we work with different datasets and/or steps to multiply the possibilities of our outcomes. How to make your robot/code/synthetic creature become a poetic stream. In this hands-on workshop the base is simple code structures that ensure you an endless amount of outcomes (you will never get the same result twice).
During the session we explore how to give meaning and context to these constantly moving and reiterating works. Feel the empowerment of letting one be guided by the oracle of the machine. Learn the basics to your own arcade-machine-oracle. Get to use meaningful data inputs from buttons, sensors & whatever you want!

Cybernetic Dreams is a workshop marathon focussing on interactive and generative tools, organized by HCL resident Louisa Teichmann. Over the course of a week, we will breathe life into metal and wires, flooding electricity into cybernetic pathways. Starting with a workshop on sensors and servo-motors, Dennis de Bel lays out the creature’s nervous system. Now it is already time for its first words, as a workshop on speech-to-text tools by Federico Poni and Francesco Luzzana gives the beast its voice. With the help of roboticist Edwin Dertien, the disconnected pieces of its bare existence are becoming grounded into a robust body. After its journey of creation, all that is left for the entity to come to life is a soul. Telemagic awakens the creature’s spirit by giving it the gift of choice.
Sign up for the workshops individually, or watch the entire birth of the creature by joining the whole program. Sweet cybernetic dreams!
