Physical Computing Intensive using MidiTron:

An Intro to Electronics and Interfacing Sensors, Lights and Robotics

Have you ever wondered how to play music by moving your hands or 

trigger video clips with the blink of an eye? In one weekend, you 

will learn how to do this through tutorials in basic electronics, 

MAX/MSP/Jitter programming, sensor building, lights, robotics, and 

interactive design using the Miditron (a sensor and robotic interface 

device). You will learn these techniques hands-on by building 

mini-projects and ideas of your own design. This is of interest to 

Artists, Musicians, Dancers, Actors, Engineers, Programmers, 

Lighting, Sound and Graphic Designers, and others.

You will have the opportunity to design sensor-based projects using 

MidiTron. You will learn basic electronics, MIDI, and programming in 

order to implement your projects. You will learn how to incorporate 

basic circuits into your projects and art. Subjects covered will 

include electronic components, symbols and schematics, electricity 

flow, making connections, testing, and troubleshooting. Programming 

using MAX/MSP/Jitter will also be taught so that you can control 

sound and visuals through the computer. Through guided tutorials and 

critiques, we will explore technical and aesthetic issues regarding 

their projects. In addition, prior art will be discussed for 

inspiration and analysis. No previous knowledge of electronics,
