"To capture and decipher the energy, adornment and motion of the fairground through construction of sculptural forms and surfaces. Students will intervene with a combination of low tech materials and processes in response to research into historical fairground film footage. Students will use the laser cutter and be introduced to digital and creative technologies to integrate light and movement within their outcomes. Students will push the boundaries alongside workshop parameters to innovatively manipulate the objective qualities of such materials."
After reading the Low Tech Hacking brief I knew straight away that this was going to be the chosen option for me. Having already done Mixed Media I knew what various techniques this would entail, such as the Lazer Cutter. However, I was really intrigued by some of the processes we will be covering such as Arduino, Lilypad, and the use of Conductive threads and LEDs. I had already briefly covered Adobe Illustrator within my Mixed Media option but I'm really looking forward to getting to grips with Arduino and Pure Data software.
