Technology can be strongly embedded in contemporary artistic practices, and these, as ubiquitous, can be its critical reflection. In this context media art offers tools for better understanding of the impact of technology on modern life and enables the recognition of its basic structures and potential.
More and more artists use modern technologies in their art-work, also in exploratory way. With a set of modern tools, artists are looking for innovative ways to engage critics, understanding of the world, and future visions. As an upgrade to the series of workshops DIY electronic art (Naredi-sam Elektronska umetnost) this year Academy of Arts Nova Gorica (UN Nova Gorica) includes tools for sound expression as a closer look into the study of electronics in artistic practices.
Music / audio player
At the basic level is just a simple audio player. With more advanced approach it turns into a tool for experimenting and creating sound. Students will work with materials and tools such as conductive materials and circuits to create new audio device and soft triggers with computer-implemented techniques (laser cutting, foil cutter and ironing) and hand sewing.
