= Unravel the Code VII - '''Anecdata''' =
  
−
''blurb to come''
+
The plural of anecdote may not be not data, but that won’t stop a group of 30 psudoscientific-superstars from turning hasty generalisations into physical, dynamic, and joyful spectacles. Far from spreading misinformation or working under the pretence of ‘big data’, this workshop focuses on the positive value of '''Anecdotal Data'''. By appropriating standard formats of information display, the challenge is to quantify and '''physicalise''' '''fuzzy''', '''fragmentary''', or '''borderline arbitrary''' bits of information into powerful '''storytelling'''.
 +
 
 +
After 6 successful editions, which brought topics such as unraveling the contemporary relevance radio, crafting magnetic core memory, and matching machine learning with facial recognition technologies, The 7th International Unravel The Code embraces '''Anecdata'''. The workshop brings together Master and Bachelor students from '''Maryland Institute College of Art''' (Baltimore) and '''Willem de Kooning Academy / Piet Zwart Institute''' (Rotterdam), for three days of tall tales, soft data, hardcore fabrication. The three day workshop consists of: one evening of meeting, greeting, and eating; one day of technical workshops; and one intense12 hour prototyping session that turns collaborative ideas into tangible results.
 +
 
 +
The students will be divided over three projects:
 +
 
 +
1 '''A Yarn or Two to Tell''' - participants will explore thread as dynamic data transmitters while trying to find the red line in their collaborative project. 
 +
 
 +
2 '''Anecdotal Data Doodles''' - participants will hack/build drawing machines while trying draw conclusions on what kind of collaborative drawings to draw. 
 +
 
 +
3 '''Mo-Cap Boogie-Woogie''' - participants will…well….figure out how to make a something meaningful with data coming from a motion capture suit, and if all in vain, simply boogie-woogie with a motion capture suit.
 +
 
 +
The goal of Unravel The Code is to facilitate exchange between international students interested in both traditional and emerging ways of making. It aims to teach concrete technical skills as well as meta-skills in collaboration in a shot but intensive time frame. Due to the largely esoteric supporting staff and a small sample group of students from various backgrounds in art and technology, the only reliable conclusions this year will be: fun should had by all; new international contacts should be made; and sense of agency and appreciation should be manifested when looking at hat can be made in three days together.

Unravel the Code VII - Anecdata

The plural of anecdote may not be not data, but that won’t stop a group of 30 psudoscientific-superstars from turning hasty generalisations into physical, dynamic, and joyful spectacles. Far from spreading misinformation or working under the pretence of ‘big data’, this workshop focuses on the positive value of Anecdotal Data. By appropriating standard formats of information display, the challenge is to quantify and physicalise fuzzy, fragmentary, or borderline arbitrary bits of information into powerful storytelling.

After 6 successful editions, which brought topics such as unraveling the contemporary relevance radio, crafting magnetic core memory, and matching machine learning with facial recognition technologies, The 7th International Unravel The Code embraces Anecdata. The workshop brings together Master and Bachelor students from Maryland Institute College of Art (Baltimore) and Willem de Kooning Academy / Piet Zwart Institute (Rotterdam), for three days of tall tales, soft data, hardcore fabrication. The three day workshop consists of: one evening of meeting, greeting, and eating; one day of technical workshops; and one intense12 hour prototyping session that turns collaborative ideas into tangible results.

The students will be divided over three projects:

1 A Yarn or Two to Tell - participants will explore thread as dynamic data transmitters while trying to find the red line in their collaborative project.

2 Anecdotal Data Doodles - participants will hack/build drawing machines while trying draw conclusions on what kind of collaborative drawings to draw.

3 Mo-Cap Boogie-Woogie - participants will…well….figure out how to make a something meaningful with data coming from a motion capture suit, and if all in vain, simply boogie-woogie with a motion capture suit.

The goal of Unravel The Code is to facilitate exchange between international students interested in both traditional and emerging ways of making. It aims to teach concrete technical skills as well as meta-skills in collaboration in a shot but intensive time frame. Due to the largely esoteric supporting staff and a small sample group of students from various backgrounds in art and technology, the only reliable conclusions this year will be: fun should had by all; new international contacts should be made; and sense of agency and appreciation should be manifested when looking at hat can be made in three days together.

Awkward Anecdotal Exchange

9/10 - 13/10 Bits of Rotterdam - bits of Baltimore - through the magic of the internet
time and date student arranged MICA and WDKA / PZI students try to sustain a 5 min awkward conversation, knowing that it will make the week much smoother knowing at least one partner student on a face to face basis. There is a strict format for this talk, which can be found below.

Awkward Anecdotal Exchange Format

To identify your Anecdotal Exchange partner, please sign up with your name or email for one of the 3 projects by October 8th (as participant 1-10) and contact the corresponding student (i.e if your #1 in A Yarn or Two on the MICA list, find out who is #1 on the A Yarn or Two WDKA list).

Please prepare the following to discuss:

  1. share a love/hate about your current program
  2. share a memorable photograph where the look on your face fits under the title  “ the moment I knew what I wanted to do”.
  3. discuss your first line of thinking for ways to collect anecdata
  4. discuss your first line of thinking for making threads or tangents, doodles, or mo-caps into the most powerful experiences imaginable
  5. take a joint screenshot of your joint-awkward faces and upload it to project participant lists on the wiki

Remember that awkward skypeing/facetiming/hangouts are better then awkward first time face-to-face. The purpose of this pre-meeting is to have the first exchange to be on a peer to peer basis and break the ice before the marathon begins.
