Nano+Bio+Art

對人類來說，城市是一個巨大、豐富而又高度濃縮的生活必需品，今天的城市生活將會是人類未來生活的縮影。[都市入侵者]以游擊隊的姿態，教導參加者如何透過各種電子科技和流動裝置入侵所身處的社區，拒絕被日見不公義的超巨形都市所吞噬。…參加者將會在為期兩天的工作坊學習基礎電子知識和應用編程軟件Arduino，並透過簡單改裝及重組手提電腦、網絡攝影機及背囊等設備，製作光攻擊裝置及二氧化碳探測器，以創新及另類的方法認識及入侵都市，批評及攻擊光源和廢氣對城市的污染！

City Hack Workshop
Urban Invader

Year 2050, 70% of the world’s population will be living in cities, the city has become a tremendous yet highly compressed substance of human life; physically, in space, action and contemplation, etc., city’s life is a microcosm of the future of human life. This module entitled “Urban Invader” is an art form of guerrilla, teach participants to invade city through a variety of electronic technology and mobile devices, create intrusion into the city, awaken people’s awareness on resisting being swallowed by our mega-city, or highlight any individual/groups from uneven distribution of wealth of the city, justice and social issues.

After learning the basic knowledge on Electronics and programming software Arduino, participants will criticize the light and air pollution in urban areas by designing and taking part in Light Attack and Air-Strike during this two-days workshop. With simply using only a laptop, webcam, and backpack, Light Attack Gadget and CO2 detector will be created for understanding and hacking our city in an entirely new way!

Artist: Keith Lam (Hong Kong)

Workshop Rundown
Day 1 (September 11)
a) Urban Invader: A Hacking Rock’n’Roll
Introducing the spirit of Urban Invader and how to embed it into rock’n’roll!
b) Getting Started to rock’n’roll: Basic Knowledge on Electronics
- Current, resistances
- On/off, NO, NC
- Basic Arduino knowledge
c) Light Attack!- Get to know your opinion on light consumption
- DIWO the Light Attack Gadget
d) Modifications/Brain Storming:Design an action for the Gadget!

Day 2 (September 12)
a) Rock’n’Roll Sharing
b) More Possibilities of Light Attack!- mechanical output / sound output / something else?
c) Hands-on Practice
d) Brain Storming:Air-Strike: A myth of the relationship between urban development and air quality (or light pollution)
How would you get the information of the air quality on the street?
How would you visualize the CO2?
