Presentations
Welcome to Frayed Wire! We'll briefly talk about the goals of the event, find out who's in the room, and provide direction for setting up the discussion sections and the open lab. |
Sat Jul-11, 9:00 AM- 6:00 PM
Open Lab
The open lab is a space for you to share what you are doing, or work on DIY projects over the course of the day. There will be tables, power strips, and some tools waiting for you. In addition, we'll have some of the makings of wearable electronics: LEDs, conductive thread, and batteries. CONTEST: At the end of the day, the best fashion accessory will win a Lilypad Arduino kit: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardLilyPad

Presentations
In this talk, Ward will discuss how we may leverage technology to augment the way we see and process the world in social media, science and in art, drawing from his own experiences as an inventor, developer, and tinkerer.

What is the relationship between language and our sense of self within our associational communities? 'Philosophy in Motion' is my current body of work that visualizes diagrammatic movements of conceptual sequences and singular moments of conceptual framing. Basically I am exploring narrative aesthetics of living within our complex information environment. The narrative element connotes an illustrative approach in bringing a visual understanding to complex ideas. The use of technology brings the medium of our social discourse to form a philosophy in motion.

Workshops
This workshop provides a crash course in basic electronics to get you started incorporating electronics into your art. There are only 12 spots available, you must register for the workshop on http://frayedwire.eventbrite.com. |
Sat Jul-11, 11:00 AM- 12:00 PM
Workshops
Have you ever wanted to incorporate electronics into textiles, clothing or fashion accessories? This workshop will be a hands-on session focused on integrating electronics into soft fabrics and making soft switches out of snaps and hooks. You will make your own switch turn on and off an LED. You will also learn a little about the Lilypad (Arduino for fabrics) through a demo.
(10 spots available, with 25$ materials fee. You must register for this workshop at http://frayedwire.eventbrite.com. ) |

Presentations
Lee will present an overview of her works which incorporate new media into sculpture, installation and performance. The strength of these technologies lies in its interactive, temporal, iterative and combinatorial possibilities. The question, with digital media, is how to make work that is technologically compelling, yet still intimate and poetic. The challenges are to develop experiences that will not be dated and to close the gap between the digital and the analog. New media works that transcend their technological form has the potential to create, for the viewer, a singular and heightened awareness of transience, motion and stillness.

Presentations
Learn how avant-garde artists and Bell Telephone engineers collaborated in the 1960s to create "9 Evenings: Theatre and Engineering" performances that led to the formation of Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) -- a non-profit organization established in 1966 to support collaborations between artists and engineers. Chapters were formed around the world, including Seattle and Portland. Historical videos from these histories will be shown as part of the presentation. |

Breaks
Grab a brown paper lunch, and find your Birds of Feather group! Birds of a Feather groups are people who are similar to you, and will be indicated through signs on tables. |
 
Sat Jul-11, 1:30 PM- 3:00 PM
In the tradition of open space meetings, this time block is dedicated to participant-determined discussion sections. You will have a chance to propose a discussion section in the morning, and topics will be chosen by popular vote.

Sat Jul-11, 1:30 PM- 3:00 PM
The humanistic and community-centered trend of open-source technologies has generated a spirit of shared experience, engagement and respect for community. Our creative tech community here in the NW, in large part, is driving this paradigm shift. How might we create interdisciplinary collaborations like the legendary ones created at Bell Labs and Xerox PARC? What kinds of program models, "real" assets and resources can we develop to incubate these interdisciplinary collaborations? How will a culture of virtual collaboration change physical space? Join us for a lively exploration of the possibilities. |

Workshops
The Arduino is a great device for learning and experimenting with
electronics, but sometimes you need a jump start in how to use it. If you have an Arduino (or are willing to buy one prior to FrayedWire ) then come take this workshop for some great ideas and useful starter kit of projects. Only 15 spots are available, you must buy the workshop ticket on http://FrayedWire.eventrbrite.com. The $15 workshop fee will cover a kit of parts and a booklet of fun projects to get you thinking and working. The workshop itself will focus on an overview and instruction on getting everything set up and running. Afterwards, bring your materials to the open lab and work on your projects with the other FrayedWire attendees. You must bring your own Arduino (or compatible), and a laptop with the latest version of the Arduino software installed. If you would like to purchase an Arudino I recommend the official Duemilanove (http://www.adafruit.com/ The software can be downloaded for free from here: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ 
Sat Jul-11, 3:00 PM- 4:30 PM
Workshops
This workshop is an overview of the Processing programming language. Processing is an open source Java based programming language designed for artists and visual designers to both learn coding techniques for their own work and to rapidly sketch ideas for visual coders already familiar with other languages. Only 12 spots available, you must register for this spot on http://www.frayedwire.eventbrite.com.

Workshops
Electroluminescent Wire is wire that glows brightly when fed
electricity. It's incredibly useful for supplemental lighting, costumery and all sorts of neat hackish projects. It's easy to work with, once you get some basic soldering techniques under your belt. In this workshop you will learn the basics of working with electroluminescent wire. You will learn the basic soldering techniques, information about selecting wire and drivers, and other helpful hints about adding this medium into your artwork. This will be a drop-in workshop where I will provide all the equipment and supplies available you'll need to get yourself started with the art and practice of working with this fun medium. There will be equipment available for about 10 persons to be working at once. 
Sat Jul-11, 3:00 PM- 3:30 PM
Presentations
Having worked on a variety of projects that use technology as an element for auditory and visual artwork, as well as having used a variety of commercial tools for my own music and visual art, I've been intrigued at the ways in which the tools we use shape the art that we create. I'll walk through several examples from my own work and commercial tools to help us think about the effects that new technologies have on the way we make -- and the way we think. |
Sat Jul-11, 3:30 PM- 4:00 PM
In this talk, Seattle and Alaska-based Mark Zirpel will present a
recent work titled "bird translator". It is an investigatin into the relationship between language and music, the process of transduction, and the attempt to move the surface of water with the song of a bird, all orgranized via the structure of a neural pathway. Although Zirpel comes from a printmaking background, over the years he has turned his focus to producing mixed-media kinetic sculptures. Previous works focused the notion of time, lunar and tidal cycles, as well as corollary timekeeping systems within the human body. |
Sat Jul-11, 4:00 PM- 4:30 PM
Presentations
In this talk, Bob Campbell will describe recent work exploring collaborative video for dance. Since 1992 his collaborative video-for-dance work has premiered in On The Boards' New Performance Series, Northwest New Works Festival Series, and Artist Access Series. His dance-on-video work has been presented in the Dance on Camera Festival at New York's Lincoln Center, and in Seattle's New Dance Cinema Festival.

Presentations
Trimpin is a Seattle, Washington-based kinetic sculptor, sound artist, musician, and composer, most of whose pieces integrate both sculpture and music in some way, and many of which make use of computers to play these instruments.
He will be talking about his history of work, exploring inventions in music and kinetic sculpture. |
