Through this short but exciting workshop light artist Coen Hoogstraten shows you how to make your own Lichtbloem (Light Flower), a tingling light made of a ping pong ball, an LED light, a pushpin and optical fibers.
This 4 days workshop will be dedicated to the design and development of interactive interfaces and softwares to drive the 18 LED spotlights behind iMAL's windows.
During a week-long workshop, it is possible for everyone - either individually or collectively - to plug into and interact with numerous social and creative possibilities for using and transforming our public space. With Ewen Chardronnet [FR], Raumlabor [ DE ], OST Collective & Studio Public [ BE/FR ] Recyclo.org [ BE ], Cécile Martin [ CA ], Jochen Dehn [ DE ], Loreto Martinez Troncoso [ ES ], Edurne Rubio [ES] at Parc Grisar, Brussels.
3 days of conferences and performances will give the opportunity to architects, urban theorists, performance artists, philosophers and activists to root the origins of contemporary performance architecture and to extend its potentialities regarding future art/urban strategies.But the conference will also be an activation step for MyCityLab Brussels, an ephemeral performance that call for longer-term actions in the Brussels MIDI neighbourhood, this key platform of mobility in Europe. For that reason a one-week workshop will bring architects, artists, urban theorists, performers and volunteers to activate this camp-conference.
