Objetives

Objectives here are to learn the basic functions about the digital facade, to generate ideas for playable projects and to create groups that develop these ideas independently. There will be two days of learning and hard work that will generate an embryo for future projects to be exhibited in the facade.

Working plan

The hours for best visibility of the facade are late afternoon and evening. So workshops take place when it´s dark.

Friday, 5:00pm-Midnight: Learning Session in the façade, overview of examples of projects in urban facades, development of ideas and creation of workgroups.
Saturday 11:00pm-Midnight: Work on prototypes and presentations on Saturday night.
 

Who is it addressed to?

The workshop is addressed to individuals with knowledge of programming and design that are interested in developing content for urban facades. No previous experience with this type of support is necessary. There will be an emphasis on introducing the participants in the world of urban screens. This is not a totally theoretical workshop and has a practical objective. We are seeking for people interested that are eager to work on this; participants working in their projects keeping in mind the possibility of having these projects exhibited in Medialab-Prado´s digital façade as well as in other urban screens, through agreements among the responsible parties.
It is not necessary to arrive to the workshop with an idea in mind, although it might be useful to bring some for discussion. Group creativity is favored; participants can come alone as well as bring a previously created group.

 

Practical information

Medialab-Prado´s digital facade is one of Europe´s most impressive urban screens. It has a resolution of 157x 192 pixels and is composted on 26,000 LEDs
