Games to the People @ Future Places 2015



Developing musical/sonorous and visual instruments with video games.

The goal of this workshop is to demonstrate how obsolete or outdated video game consoles can be used to perform sonorous/musical and visual compositions, initiating participants in simple principles of DIY, hardware hacking and circuit bending practices. In the first part of the workshop, the participants will be instructed in how to hack the provided hardware. In the second moment, they will create their own version of the instrument, applying the newly acquired skills.

Cosmos Laundromat - First Cycle. Official Blender Foundation release.



"On a desolate island, suicidal sheep Franck meets his fate in a quirky salesman, who offers him the gift of a lifetime. Little does he know that he can only handle so much lifetime. (Target audience age: 13+)

"Cosmos Laundromat" started in 2014 as an experimental feature film, in which an adventurous and absurdist love story is being told by multiple teams - each working in their own unique style. The opening of the film, the 10 minutes pilot "First Cycle", has been made in the Netherlands by the studio of Blender Institute in Amsterdam.

The film itself and all of the artwork files were made with free/open source software and are available under a permissive license. Free to share, free to remix and free to learn from.
