Ignition 3.0 – Call For Entries

February 27, 2010 | Author: Administrator

The Fuse Factory’s third annual exhibition – Ignition 3.0 – will discuss community.

Experimenters, tinkerers, creatives, performers and art and technology creators of all sorts are being sought for the Fuse Factory’s  third annual Ignition exhibition.
Theme: Community.

Ignition 3.0

Works are sought that explore both the individual and the groups with which they connect and communicate.  Artists are encouraged to submit interactive works that engage, challenge and provide unique experiences to the viewer.

We’re looking for robotics, performances, installations, short videos and films, web cam art, sculptures, stills, games, music and sound art, prints, and even paintings — to name a few.

Take us somewhere we’ve not yet been and weren’t quite expecting to go.  Let us play — and let us share our experiences with those around us.

Ignition 3.0 will take place in and around
Skylab on May 14th and 15th 2010.

Download the call for entries here.
Postmark Deadline: April 5, 2010.

DIY RGB Ambient Lamp Kit

RGB Lamp Kit

RGB Lamp Kit

My new kit uses an Arduino clone that I designed that I am calling “StackDuino”. For this project I designed an RGB Led board that displays various colors. The RGB board screws on top of the StackDuino.

This kit will be home brew. I will be posting the Eagle Board files shortly for anyone interested.

We are in the process of setting up a new creative space in Columbus, OH called Lifelong Labs (http://www.lifelonglabs.com) and this will be one of the first project that we work on. We should be fully operational by March.

Lifelong Labs provide “all ages” instructional workshops that explore the intersection of art & technology.  An organization created to engage enthusiast and the general public with artistic works intertwined with scientific and technological elements. Read more »

Hacking the SX-150. Building an Arduino-based sequencer

January 24, 2010 | Author: Administrator

Jeff at Totus Terra has been working on an Arduino based sequencer. He has a three part series on his blog.  Part 1 takes control of the SX-150 pitch control.

Part 2 is a build on the basic sequencer note-on/note-off control.

Part 3 is where it comes together with a hardware-and-Arduino based 4-step sequencer for the SX-150

Jeff has included complete instructions, explanations, schematics and Arduino sketch files for this build.

Help sponsor a scholarship for at-risk youth!

January 2, 2010 | Author: Administrator

The Fuse FactoryIn January and February 2010, the Fuse Factory is partnering with the University Area Enrichment Association to offer a 6-session workshop series on the software application Storytelling Alice. The series is for youth aged 10-14 who are interested in learning computer programming and creating interactive game environments.

Storytelling Alice is a programming environment designed to motivate a broad spectrum of middle school students to learn to program computers through creating short 3D animated movies.

To learn more about Storytelling Alice, you can visit:

http://www.alice.org/kelleher/storytelling/

Our goal is to raise $1000, which will sponsor ten at-risk youth between the ages of 10 and 14 who live and attend school in the Weinland Park Area. $100 will enable one child to participate in the workshop series. Make donations at: http://www.firstgiving.com/thefusefactory

Thank you very much for your support!

All good,

Alison Colman, Founder and Executive Director, and all of us at the Fuse Factory!
