Hacking for Artists is a series of free workshops focused on teaching electronics and computer programming to artists. They are not formal classes, but open time to work on projects in adjacency to and in collaboration with other artists who are figuring things out. I am around the whole time to help out, provide resources, and point people in the right direction. I built an electronics lab in my studio and stocked it with tools (soldering iron, breadboards, etc) along with a lot of components (arduino, raspberry pi, misc. electronics, resistors, capacitors, lights, sensors, etc) to play with.

Hacking for artists began as a website made in collaboration with Nik Hanselmann, was then offered as a class at UC Santa Cruz taught by me, and has now became a series of free, collaborative workshops.

Support for Hacking for Artists is provided by Southern Exposure’s Alternative Exposure Grant Program
