modified toys occupy bsas

fatto in casa medul.la jorge crowe

if you are not aware of the modified toys that are occupying buenos aires (ok, just an opportunist joke), you will now have four chances to meet them. jorge crowe and i will be presenting the live audiovisual performance fatto in casa in several opportunities in the next few days at the capital of the porteños.

for those who don’t know the perfomance, fatto in casa explores the re-use and modification of old toys and objects as an audiovisual platform. jorge plays the soundscapes with a huge set of little frankensteins, while i modify video images taken from his set in real time, using a very improvised prototype based on the reactable project. we’ve already presented the performance two times earlier this year, and we invite you to check out the next toy attacks!

the first jam will be held on saturday, december 10th, at the street a delika, in the zafra espacio de formación artística (sarmiento 3096), at 5pm.

then, on thursday, december 15th, we will be at the espacio ecléctico, in a very nice event called genealogía del objeto. our noise starts at 8pm.

i’m honored to announce that i’ll be giving a workshop at flexible lab, buenos aires, in a partnership with laboratorio de juguete. the workshop will be based on the previous one that took place in the Museum of Image and Sound of São Paulo. there will be 4 meetings. in the first one, a discussion on the subject of computation and data visualization is proposed. for the next 3 meetings, 3 exercises are proposed: one of text data visualzation; one of access and appropriation of the twitter databank; and the last one, an experiment with data coming from the physical world.

also, i’ll be giving an introduction to the subject of the workshop on the thursday before the 1st meeting, 21/07, from 19:00 to 20:30, also at flexible lab.

if you happen to be interested in participating, write an e-mail to labodejuguete@gmail.com with a brief curriculum and a few words about your expactations.
