OpenDot is helding a Workshop Series in collaboration with Dotdotdot on the topic of climate change, with the intention at sharing the know-how acquired in the process of developing the installation “Earth Bits – Sensing the Planetary”.

In the spirit of New European Bauhaus, the workshops offer an opportunity for advanced training and professional exchange at the intersection of data science, technology and design, creating a space for experimentation and learning. “Climate Data” is an invitation that fosters cross-disciplinary practices to look at the sustainability challenges from multiple perspectives and gives tools to understand and develop innovative skills towards a more sustainable future.

The workshops will be free under subscription, with limited places (max 20pp), and part of the DD – Distributed Design project, funded by the Creative Europe program. You can choose to attend only one or all the workshops. The meetings will be held online through Zoom and also, if the sanitary measures will allow it, on-site at Opendot.

Registration open HERE!

24 SEP – THE SOUND OF TEMPERATURE – 14.30-18.30 PM GMT+2

The emotional value of data

We’ll talk about sound synthesis and generative music techniques with SuperCollider, with a basic introduction to the data sonification field. The participants will be able to apply some of the main data sonification techniques on Temperature and NO2 datasets, and to create their own unique sound track.

Requirements: sufficient experience with SuperCollider or experience with programming and audio/media applications; PC with SuperCollider installed.

We’ll use: SuperCollider
