“Everything you need for interactive works using video, graphics, sound, movement, lights and more.”
In the Interaction Station, we focus on a broad array of technologies, including computer programming, DIY electronics, augmented and virtual reality, real-time 3D motion graphics, machine learning, and AI. Weenjoy experimenting with new tools, technologies, and hardware, taking a critical eye to developing technologies and exploring how they can be appropriated
for creative uses. We’re also interested in how older technologies can be re-evaluated in contemporarycontexts. Our goal is to help you develop your ideas into working projects by providing individual consultation, station skills, and lessons.
At the Interaction Station, you can:
- Add real-time interactive multimedia content to your project (sound, movement, lights, video projection, computer graphics)
- Experiment with generative AI tools and train your own models (teach a computer to speak with your voice, write a new song based on Taylor Swift lyrics)
- Control digital devices with code, sensors, and microcontrollers, enabling them to communicate with other systems
- Create a computer-controlled machine (such as a drawing machine or 3D printer) or hack and modify an existing one
- Use a full range of electronics prototyping tools to test out ideas (breadboarding, soldering, PCB milling, 3D printing, laser cutting)
- Record your best moves with a motion capture suit to bring animated characters to life
- Create augmented reality (AR) applications that add an interactive digital layer on top of the real world
- Build immersive 3D environments that users can explore using a virtual reality (VR) headset, e.g., Meta Quest 3
