In the 2019 fall semester, AIR LAB hosted a workshop about creating interactive spaces with projections. For the workshop we made use of the Processing IDE and the lab’s ceiling-mounted, floor-facing Microsoft Kinect body tracker and Projector setup. After an introduction to the hardware, participants were provided with example code, that could later be used […]
AIR LAB workshop series #2 SENSORS and SOUND on 21st of November. Come help us experiment with our new sensor board, while making interactive sound prototypes. 🎛🔈 Learn a simple way of getting sensor data from Arduino to desktop programming in Processing, without coding on two platforms.
EVENT: infrastructures for un/recommoning How can we explore infrastructures for un/recommoning that engage us affectively, prompt us to reassess value systems and allow us to come together differently (on the level of divergent collective bodies (ourselves, communities, environments)) through processes of attunement facilitated by a number of techniques and technologies? Minor Movements; Infrastructures for un/recommoning […]
A creative coding workshop on interactive sound and light spaces – a collaboration between ITU and the Rhythmic Music Conservatory During this workshop students from the RMC (Rhythmic Music Conservatory) and ITU (IT University of Copenhagen) will collaborate on creating interactive sound and light spaces. They will work with sound and light design, the […]
Our research group hosted a great workshop on the topic of "Breathing Commons" on Friday 6th of November at the AIR Lab. We did individual and collective breathing Exercises, which was a challenging and discursive activity to pursue during Covid pandemic times. However, this helped us to reflect on the importance of breathing and the changing perception […]

Another Creative Coding Club took hold of the lab in April! We were so happy to invite students to play around with one of our custom interfaces: The Fakey Fakey! In collaboration with the trusty people of @dditaktivitetskomite, we established a space for students to explore how fruit, liquids, paint or anything conductive can function […]
AIRLab presents our fourth installment of CreativeCodingClub, where we're going to be examining how we can use the Arduino-platform to create interactive light installations, and other light-related prototypes. Resources: Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/4889679997822773 Presentation slides LINK Handout (wiring etc.) LINK GitHub repo (code examples) LINK Pictures below!
In this workshop, we're going to introduce what it means to exhibit at the CPH light festival and give a brief introduction to light-installations as a field, aswell as some information about the tools and ressources available here in AIR Lab, and at ITU. We're also going to be talking about how we, in AIR […]
DAK is proud and excited to present out first event of the semester - a sketching workshop, hosted by accomplished artist Lawrence Marvit. Lawrence has spent a few years teaching sketching and design at the acclaimed animation school in Viborg, and has worked with the likes of Pixar, Sony, Universal, Disney TV, Cartoon Network and […]
Join our second workshop about the creation of light installations for the CPH Light festival, right here at ITU! Every ITU student is hereby invited to join us in AIR Lab, and get a chance to be a part of a group, that will create an interactive light installation for the CPH light festival! This […]
Join us for the biannual Figma workshop, this time hosted by DDIT’s very own Laura Augustinus! Laura has spent the last couple of years studying DDIT, while working as a UX product designer, and freelance graphic designer Besides being a Figma enthusiast and Analog veteran, Laura knows exactly what it means to study DDIT and […]
Did you know that ITU is part of a space program? Swing by AIRLab on the 31st of October, and let Julian Priest from introduce you to a hobby you didn't know you have. Outer Space is changing. Falling launch costs and the CubeSat form factor means that access to space technology is opening […]
We're happy to announce the fifth instalment of our Creative Coding Club! This workshop explores ways of interfacing with Figma with alternative interfaces. We will detach ourselves from the keyboard and mouse, and instead use any conductive objects to interact with prototypes. To accomplish this, we’ll utilize the "Makey Makey" - a device that allows […]
Come by the lab to celebrate friday has arrived, hear about the TRACE research project, and meet the researchers. Read more about the TRACE project here: (link)
On November 11th and 12th, AIRLab was the center of Stella Camp, where curious teens aged 13-17 took the chance to participate a variety of engaging workshops.
