How to make anything in 4 days

The Nightmarket workshop provides a series of prototyping toolkits that allows participants to build multimedia sensing/actuating systems or installations in a four-day workshop. By using those technological toolkits, all participants are expected to build their own systems to address cultural issues.

In this workshop, we will re-design, re-engineer, and newly prototype technological devices that critically consider the habitual tendency of technocracy to deviate from its original ethical intent – to enrich (and not dominate) life. Drawing from their insight and technical expertise, researchers from MIT Media Laboratory will guide students in developing new perspectives and technical skills in a very short time. Students will be asked to learn and build prototypes using toolkits from vision-recognition, multimedia, Wii controller, and wireless sensors. Our dedicated technical support group includes:

Jackie Lee, MIT Media Laboratory
Connor Dickie, MIT Media Laboratory
Jon Wetzel , MIT Media Laboratory

We will have following toolkits to be further deployed.

Attention Meter + Digital I/O
