Workshop digitalight

Industry is working on screen technologies without borders. Arbitrary details, free arrangement and form, flexible materials and feedable from your pocket: these are the defined goals of the engineers. How can artists and designers react on these possibilities? The participants of this workshop were invited to anticipate the benefit of new screen technologies already today and to explore it in free experiments and beyond 4:3. (...)

"timeslots" is a program that allows you to use normal video cameras (DV, HDV, anything) to be used as a scanning device. By using just a narrow slit out of the captured video, the working principle is comparable to normal desktop scanners, but with the benefit of better optics, portability and flexibility for experimental purposes. (...)
