Old notes on interesting initiatives in Japan on the wiki.

Visit to YCAM, discussions with the Bio Research team

Spanduk_ycamThe first day, we directly flew to Yamaguchi to meet with the people from YCAM, Yamaguchi Center for Art and Media, an amazing and huge institution focusing on art & tech, and also started a “Bio Research” initiative. I remember meeting them on the virtual channels of the 2015 edition of HTGAA. Great discussions and presentations from Ito san and Tsuda san on their experiences with booting up a biolab. After some great sushi Chiaki, carrot artist based in Tokyo, introduced her experiences as a co-founder of BioCluburu. Looking forward to visit, and hope to come to Yamaguchi again!

8Bit MixTape – Saturday, 4. Feb @ ICC

Our collaborative “claaaassiiic!” 8Bit Mixtape, Lifepatch Edition 0.9. More info can be found on our github.

mixTape_Workshop8-bit Mixtape is an open source project on building arduino compatible synthesizer using the “Algorithmic symphonies from one line of code”, or more known as “1 line C music”. The project initiated by Marc Dusseiller -dusjagr (CH), Budi Prakosa – manticore, lifepatch.org (ID). and Andreas Siagian – squaresolid, lifepatch.org (ID). from a geeking session at lifepatch Yogyakarta, Indonesia in 2013. It was started as a collaboration to create a pocket-size synthesizer that able to generate and modify “1 line C music” with a simple interface which allowed any user to play it and use it in a live performance.

8-bit Mixtape originally developed using the Babygnusbuino from Anyma, a ridiculously small arduino using ATtiny85. Despite it’s limited functionalities, ATtiny85 was considered suitable for this project. It’s also relatively cheap and reliable for the simple interface of 8-bit Mixtape. Mainly the interface of 8-bit Mixtape is using two potentiometers and two buttons to control live the 1 line C music.

Rana Cahaya – Sunday, 5. Feb @ ICC

Swakriya Citra Maya is a workshop highlighting the image in the form of a shadow image. This workshop invites participants to create a simple tool that can be used to create a two-dimensional image of a shadow by highlighting the image of a cell phone. In the science of geometry, the shadow image itself is a virtual image formed by light reflection. Lifepatch developed a kit called Rana Cahaya. Participants in this workshop does not require any special skills to put them together.
