Found in the national stadium Parken, the diode displays are a stunning example of found treasure. These displays feature red and green lights that have been hacked, and programmed to display anything. The Diode Display Hacking & Light Show workshop is a one day workshop exploring how to program displays using an Arduino board and the Arduino programming environment.

Workshop Outline:

In this workshop, participants will learn how to connect and access the diode displays, be introduced to the Arduino board and programming environment, and will be given a crash course in electronics and wiring.

Workshop Structure:

Participants will be introduced to the possibilities of using diode displays and will be shown examples of how the displays have been used for various events.

The theory of “Make art from junk” will be explained, showing participants how all materials from the workshop are recycled, and can be reused in fantastic ways.

A basic introduction of Arduino will be conducted. Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform that consists of a programmable hardware component and a straight forward programming environment .

Information & Registration:

This workshop is a one day workshop, being held from 10am to 5pm.

Workshop is limited to ten participants.

This workshop can be combined with a VJ-ing night wherein participants created diode displays for a party later in the evening. This can be used in conjunction with a pre-scheduled Half Machine event or can be an evening party for your company.

Price for workshop can be quickly calculated for your group as based on number of participants and options chosen.

Lunch, technical support, use of equipment, and all materials are provided.

Workshops can be booked up to three weeks in advance of the workshop date; please contact us with your preferred dates. Workshops are subject to venue availability.
