Hack the Panel with Alexander Roidl
Although it was not part of the curriculum, most of us participated in the "Hack the Panel" workshop with Alexander Roidl. This workshop was part of the exhibition "Re-coding Everyday Technology" by the "Arbeitsgruppe für außergewöhnliche Ein- und Ausgabemedien"of which our professor is a member. This workshop focused on easily approaching an unusual output medium. The "panels" were large LED panels typically assembled into a giant screen for concerts, but we used them individually with 64 x 64 LEDs. During the workshop, we learned the basics of p5.js and created generative works tailored to this medium. Overall, it was a great experience to quickly and easily repurpose unconventional technology and become familiar with basic creative coding.
