UPCOMING WORKSHOPS AT N.K.

January 20, 21, 22 2012! Field Effect with Martin Howse
A three day workshop actively exploring the effects of electromagnetic
fields on living systems; on the human body and the human psyche.

The effects of complex field interactions with such systems,
particularly with the psyche, are largely unknown and open to debate.
Field Effect proposes to obtain first-hand,experimental knowledge of
these relations, using DIY technologies. Experiments already suggest
links between low frequency electromagnetic emissions and experiences
of hauntings and UFO sightings. The first two days will be devoted to
the construction of devices to both generate and measure magnetic
fields and to examine the effects of these fields on living systems
(such as plants or moulds), and on the body and psyche (measuring skin
temperature, skin resistance, heartrate). In parallel, a series of
experimental situations will be constructed to provide insights into
the interactions between complex spectral ecologies (communication
technologies such as wireless networks, mobile phone bases, TV, radio,
power lines, motors, all electronic devices) and life. Participants
will learn how to construct simple devices to measure heart rate and
skin resistance, how to interface these to software and log/interpret
results and how to intervene within electromagnetic space. No previous
knowledge of fields required.

Date: January 20, 21, 22 Time: 12:00-19:00
Maximum nr. of participants: 12

Translating Audio into Images with After Effects
Level: intermediate

A three day workshop explaining how to synchronise the movement and
parameters of graphics with audio. Graphics could be any kind, from
computer generated ones till handmade scanned files passed through
photoshop. Audio and images will combine into after effects get
manipulated,synchronised and export as audio driven quicktime movies.
A usage of expressions (code) will take place too, for more advanced
and specific synchronisation. Participants are encouraged to develop
projects which will be presented at the end of the workshop.

Day one: Basic introduction to after effects workspace, preparing
images in photoshop for AE integration, basic animation techniques,
Introduction to basic expressions.

Day two: Expressions Syntax, exploration of the Trapcode Sound Keys
and Particular plugins, audio manipulation and transformation into
moving images.

Day three: A step further into more advanced audio visualisation with
participants’ own created graphics, projects presentation, thoughts
and ideas about how each participants project could go a step further.

The workshop will be held in English.

Requirements:
* Own Computer (Mac OS X/Windows). IMPORTANT: with an authorised Adobe
after Effects cs5 version or a running Demo a trap code sound keys and
Particular plugin running Demo will be provided.
* Basic knowledge in video editing
*, Headphones

Date: February 10, 11, 12 – Time: 16:00-19:00
Maximum nr. of participants: 12
