e v i e w [CREATIVE COMPUTING] The Creative Computing course was held between September and October, 2015. The workshop focused on the physical computing and exposed participants to programming languages, electronics and sensors. Our approach to producing the exhibits also changed. Through a 6-week long workshop we were able to create a more educative exchange between the collaborators. Alongside the course, artists and engineers developed their ideas and exhibits for the Showcase. Here, in an effort to move away from digital displays, Yantra selected four project that were manually interactive. [SARANGI] A young visitor playing the Sarangi at Yantra 4.0. 9 light-based sensors were used to emulate the actual instruments. The bow movement was integrated into the mechanics to reflect the Through the Sarangi, the ease of sensor-based interaction showed us the immense actual potential of experiential learning. Mimosa, showed us the mechanical precision of nature complex and intriguing beyond measure. The Irritating Machine, attempted to instill frustration from the presence of political figures, making everyone wonder why democracy was thus abused with so many Prime ministers in such a short time? 20 / SPACES FEBRUARY 2016
e v i e w [HOMEWORK THE GAME] Visitors playing HOMEWORK: The Game. Developed by three young teenagers, the game uses actual umbrellas for joysticks. Inspired by Yantra Research, the game is played with umbrellas to block water from pouring over ones “homework,” power ups were represented by shoes (speed) and hourglass (time). HOMEWORK: The Game, also inspired by the Yantra Research, was a big hit - proving that age is really just a number. Of course, there were bugs and failed troubleshooting, the Peace Pond never saw the light of day and some exhibits were fragile to the flow of excited visitors. These issues were present in Yantra 3.0 as well and clearly necessitates a revision of approach. [MAPPED PIC] Crowd at the MAPPED event at the Nepal Art Council. Musicians from Iran, Syria, Poland and Nepal played with visuals projected on the façade of the building. Events like MAPPED then helped bring the message of the exhibition to the public. International musicians collaborated to put on a outdoors concert. Their piece “Adapt” talked about the issues gripping the country. Giant projections of serpentine gas cylinders in queue by the road and of police brutality in the southern plains made the performance even more emphatic. It also allowed Yantra to have a taste of public happenings, which given the response will be replicated. [YANTRA SPEAKER SERIES] speaking at the session of the Yantra Speaker Series. Altogether 6 sessions were held. Speakers were invited to present on their work and experience of working in between the creative and technological fields. Besides these outcomes, an organic development is also taking place. Yantra has slowly moved towards broader goals, where education has taken center stage. Parallel to the attempt to rejuvenating the essence of the platform, Yantra now perceives its efforts in continuum (as any education should be). If art and technology are to come together, it will undoubtedly happen under the auspices of trial and error. As such, Yantra will D need to relieve itself from the idea of creating equal collaborations and instead provide a stable and nurturing environment where a range of attempts to merge art and technology are accommodated.
