Description
Introduction to mechanical activity that provides a framework for contemporary art practices modifies the temporality of the object in the space: The Time factor influences the attitude of the object that moves in space with repeated temporal cadence, rhythms and sounds that lead to a renewal and transformation of the life of the object.
Just as telescopes and microscopes open new perspectives within our interface, mimicking simulation of humans in technology as measurable space to organize our perceptions. To describe probabilities of experiences and actions in kinetic abstract machines, which they are set in a mode of constant production and form-making. They are connected to the human compulsion to produce forms connected to the technological system of production that we have set into motion. The behavior of technological systems of production is random and opportunistic, just like the behavior of humans.
Symbols of physical objects with color, texture, shape, movement and sound allow us to manipulate our reality in the ways we need to survive and reproduce. To live is to continue solving such tasks and to present an endless variety of solutions. "Survival" as replication, synchronicity, control, regulation and movement: Time as a vital rhythm of transformation and progress. Requiring the continuous transfer of energy, these ordering systems will almost always be found in a state of maximum disorder or will move towards it. This is like having a moral contract, especially your own body, you have to maintain it just to ensure its continued existence. This is an anti-entropic process.
The workshop will introduce various electronic and mechanical components to explore these concepts: servo motors, electric and gear motors, relay circuits, motor drivers, Arduino, LED, diodes, resistors, etc. The learning process is to practice implementing mechanical principles to re-conceptualize (and/or intervene in) our perceptions of space (as pertinent to bodily/corporeal limitations) and systems in time. We will incorporate electric motors and Arduino in innovative ways suitable for our aesthetic/theoretical ends.
