MINOR MOVEMENTS
2020-02-11 11:00 - 2020-02-12 16:00 (Europe/Paris)
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 was carried out as part of the Immediations project in Collaboration with Kasper Levin (affiliation) and Birgit Bundesen (Psychiatric Center Amager). More than 30 national and international people participated in the 2-day workshop event, and AIR LAB hosted the activities on the 2nd day. The participants populated the lab, atrium and surrounding environments, and explored, tore apart and re-designed a range of interactive installations specifically created for the collective coming-together of the event – among other things BERMUDA and the (Spatial Sonic) Contour.
Here’s a link to visit the Sonic Contour created from the listening session facilitated by Arendse Krabbe and Rune Nørager on Day 1 of the event (only works in Firefox or Chrome!): http://www.itu.dk/people/moja/airlab/sound/mm_cph_2019_1/

Breathing Commons Workshop
2021-11-06 16:00 - 18:30 (Europe/Paris)
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 of what breathing means these days. We collected and documented first-person experiences of breathing using Body Maps, followed by sharing those with one another.
We also listened to pre-recorded (individual) breathings collectively, and we reflected on and discussed how the breaths sound – and what the recordings of breaths do to our experiences of breathing as a sociosonic material.
During the last part of the workshop we experienced breathing rhythms through actuated materials. We felt on our backs how shape-change inflatable latex shapes “breathe” and shared our first-person experiences of having these actuating materials breathe while touching our bodies. This was followed by observations on the “liveliness of such other material bodies” breathing in and out.
We are planning a second workshop in December, which will include collective exercises for reflecting on the “commons” aspect of breathing, and explorations with programmable inputs and outputs of letting air in and out of shape-change materials.

AIR Lab Relaunch 2023
2023-02-10 08:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Paris)
THANKS FOR JOING OUR RELAUNCH FIGMA EVENT 🫶 We had a great time in the lab for this years first event! @dditaktivitetskomite had invited Senior Product Designer @asikjaer from @duckwisestudio to host a Figma workshop for students at ITU. Besides being an awesome and useful masterclass, the event marked the beginning of an exciting semester for us here in AIRLAB! We look forward to help you all with project and equipment support, not to mention a Friday bar and more creative coding clubs!

CreativeCodingClub#2
2023-03-09 13:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Paris)
In the first half March 2023, we hosted our second installation of our Creative Coding Club! We opened our doors, and facilitated a workshop wherein students were invited to play with Arduino, and a variety of different input- and output devices.
The design pitch was to create an idea for how AI could express itself. After an introduction to Arduino and the available sensors and actuators, students brainstormed creative ideas for how this expression could be brought to life with Arduino.
The space started buzzing with ideas for designs and how to make them. For the next couple of hours, the participants were learning, experimenting and having fun.
Stay tuned for future Creative Coding Club-events!

Friday Bar: Drinks & Demos
2023-03-17 15:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Paris)
With a little help from our friends next door @scrollbaritu, we were able to open up the AIR LAB Friday Bar! We were so happy to see both old and new friends in the lab, joining us for drinks n’ demos! Wether it’s a casual friday chat or an important design project, collaborating and getting together is really what it’s all about here in the lab!

CreativeCodingClub#3
2023-04-14 14:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Paris)
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 as input to a computer. While this made for some quick and hilarious friday builds, we feel it also demonstrated the full potential of the Fakey Fakey as a powerful tool for physical prototyping!
Come by the lab if you’re curious to learn more on our feature technologies and see how they might help your own project!

ITU @ CPH Light festival: Groups and concepts
2023-10-25 16:00 - 19:30 (Europe/Copenhagen)
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 is a fantastic opportunity to apply and expand your technical knowledge and design skills within a collaborative team setting.
No matter your field of study at ITU, you’re welcome to join us – the only requirement is an interest in the intersection of design, art and technology. You don’t need to bring anything; we’ve got everything covered. The workshop is hosted by the dedicated staff and friends of AIR Lab, along with representatives from DAK.
The event is scheduled for the 25th of October, from 16:00 to 19:30.

A brief agenda of the workshop:

Participants will come together and form groups based on their interests. The group formation process will be facilitated by our hosts.
Once groups are formed, they will brainstorm and settle on a concept for their light installation.
Each group will then craft a detailed plan for executing their concept, ensuring it can be completed on time. Unlike typical student projects, we’re creating something that will shine at ITU for several months, and this calls for careful planning and execution.

To keep our energy levels up during the workshop, DAK will provide pizza and snacks!
Should you have any questions about this workshop or if you’re unable to attend the event but still want to be part of a group, please don’t hesitate to contact us at air@itu.dk. We can’t wait to see you and work on one of the most exciting workshops yet!

The cultural use of space and ITU's space program
2023-10-31 16:00 - 18:00 (Europe/Copenhagen)
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 up to new types of user outside of the traditional scientific, military and commercial communities. New cultural uses are becoming possible, and the first art satellites have already been launched, including early works by Julian Priest. In this talk the history of space and satellite art is presented and forms the context for Priest’s own satellite artwork The Weight of Information (2011-2019).

ITU is a key member of the DISCOSAT student satellite project which launched its first satellite in April 2023 and will launch a second in autumn 2024. At ITU we currently focus on a range of scientific and technical topics in machine learning, system design and satellite communications. We outline some potential future projects and ask what cultural, design, game or arts projects could be possible using the DISCOSAT platform?

This event is hosted by DAK and is only for ITU students and alumni

CCC#5: FIGMA beyond the screen
2023-11-02 10:00 - 12:00 (Europe/Copenhagen)
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 the user to remap computer buttons, to any kind of conductive object – an interesting addition to the toolbox of any aspiring designer.
See you in AIRLab!

Stella Camp in AIRLab!
2023-11-11 08:00 - 2023-11-12 17:00 (Europe/Copenhagen)
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. Enchanting sounds of nature, the magic of creative AI, and the art of music all in one vibrant space!
Imagining green futures using Generative AI: Digital artist Andreas Refsgaard taught us the secrets of generative AI. Using image generation to imagine a future wherein humans and nature took better care of each other, we learned how to harness the ever-growing power of generative AI – a tool that’s clearly both fun and powerful for playful minds of all ages.
Creating Beats from Nature’s Symphony with Katrine Villadsen: Katrine Villadsen guided us on turning everyday sounds into our own musical beats. Taking a stroll around the university, we captured the small yet wonderful sounds of nature, resulting in a collaborative musical piece crafted together with the participants.

Crafting Electromagnetic Microphones with Nicole Cecile Bitch: Nicole Cecile Bitch introduced us to the world of crafting electromagnetic microphones – nifty devices that transform invisible magnetic fields into audible wonders. It was like discovering a new way of hearing the world. The participants got to bring home their creations, which they can plug into any device they want to
The grand finale: a plant concert led by artist Bo Thorning and our talented participants. Parents and curious onlookers got a front-row seat to witness a concert wherein the participants played on plants connected to capacative sensors. These were connected to a modular synth and electronic drums, and ended up sounding better than anyone could have imagined!
Looking back on this wonderful weekend, we’re hope to be a part of future Stella Workshops! It’s always an honor to inspire the youth to explore technology in creative ways.

Research workshop on somaesthetic design
2024-02-15 08:00 - 15:00 (Europe/Copenhagen) | AIR LAB, Rued Langgaards Vej 7, Copenhagen S, 2300, Denmark
Participants on the workshop were a group of HCI researchers and was facilitated by researcher Katerina Stepanova, visiting ITU from Simon Fraser University, Canada, and Assoc. Prof. Vasiliki Tsaknaki (ITU).
As part of their research on design with breathing for embodied connection, the researchers conducted a somaesthetic design workshop prototyping with somadigital materials. They explored the qualities of experiences that emerge when the sense our own and other’s breathing is mediated though different materials. Part of the workshop focused on reflection on how we perceive and connect to human and more-than-human others by sharing the experience of breathing, how this experience unfolds, and what type of cues could support its unfolding. Katerina brought the VR demo Star Stuff (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/361590556_Star-Stuff_A_Shared_Immersive_Experience_in_Space), which participants and other faculty had the chance to experience in the lab.
Katerina Stepanova is PhD Candidate at iSpace lab at the School of Interactive Art and Technology at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada. Through an embodied cognition, phenomenology and soma-design her work explores how VR and bio-responsive technology can support intimate, and sometimes transformative experiences of feeling connection to oneself, others, and the world.

Teaching and Activities

This spring, Feminist Technoscience Film Club will host three film screenings on the theme ‘bodily relations and machines’. It is open to anyone, but make sure to book a (free) ticket if you plan to come. On the February 28th, we open the Feminist Technoscience Film Club with the feature film TEKNOLUST!
Teknolust (2002) is an aesthetically pleasing sci-fi comedy about three cyborg women and their creator, the bio-geneticist Rosetta Stone – all four played by Tilda Swinton. The film fluctuates in and out of the four women’s intimate relations – life-sustainingly necessary ones and those just for pleasure. The three cyborgs carry a digital virus which starts to spread to humans, so Rosetta’s scientific work and personal life starts getting complicated.
WHAT: Screening of Teknolust followed by discussion
WHERE: The screening will take place in AIR Lab at IT University of Copenhagen.
WHEN: February 28, 16-18:00.
Bring your cozy + curious mood, and we shall discuss the film after watching it together. ☁️🎞️👽

AIR Lab 5 Year Friday Bar
2024-03-08 14:00 - 18:00 (Europe/Copenhagen)
Dear current and future friends of the AIR Lab!
It’s hard to believe, but it is now 5 years since we launched the AIR Lab at ITU back in 2019.
To celebrate this, we’d like to invite everybody to join us for some birthday cake and bubbles (with and without alcohol) in the Lab for a 5 Year Friday Bar on the 8th of March from 15-17. We have teamed up with Scroll Bar, so it’s possible to buy refreshments in the Lab as well.
We will fill the Lab space with project highlights from our first 5 years and also showcase some new work. If, in the meantime, you’d like to have a look at some of the stuff that we have been up to since we started, you are more than welcome to drop by https://airlab.itu.dk/ and have a look.
We hope to see many of you there!
Take care,
Halfdan & Jonas

Wekinator workshop
2024-03-20 14:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Copenhagen)
Post-workshop update!
The workshop went great, and the attendees learned how easy it is to register an unique input, and have it trigger something on another device. In this case, motions with your phone -> Computer.
This allowed for unique use cases, like using your phone as a wand to trigger different spells, based on the specific movements. Other creative uses include spelling out letters in the air, to trigger keystrokes on a computer. We recommend using the official wekinator examples, to help get an overview of some well-documented I/O combiatnions. We think Wekinator is a great way to get some practical experience with how machine learning might help you prototype your ideas, allowing you to focus on the expression of your work instead of just getting it to work.
See you next time, in AIRLab
Example code

Description
Want to use machine learning in your projects? Then join us in AIR lab on March 20th 14.00 – 17.00! This workshop will focus on Wekinator, easy-to-use software for interactive machine learning with no Coding. A great possibility to learn how machine learning can be used in your projects.

All ITU students are welcome!
Sign up here (not a demand!)

In this workshop we will introduce you to the basics of supervised machine learning. Though using Wekinator you will be able to play with supervised machine learning combining wekinator with different input and outputs.

Andreas Refsgaard: ML5 prototyping workshop
2024-04-23 14:30 - 17:00 (Europe/Copenhagen)
Niche superstar Andreas Refsgaard, a renowned creative coder and former design student here at ITU, swung by AIRLab on Tuesday to host a workshop. In this session, curious students explored the possibilities of using face- and body-tracking packages for P5.js. The workshop began with Andreas demonstrating some of his prototypes, followed by participants spending two hours playing around with the technology, getting help from Andreas and each other. It was both fun and insightful, and we are eagerly awaiting the next event of this nature. Workshop took place here in AIRLab, and was set up by the student organization DAK (Design Aktivitetskomité).
We used the web editor for P5.js, which possibly resulted in a new all-time low entry barrier for a software prototyping workshop.
Here’s an example of a participant-made sketch, allowing the user to shoot a virtual laser out of their index finger: https://editor.p5js.org/jonasniel/sketches/aKNA6htUb

Feminist Technoscience Film Club vol. 3
2024-05-14 16:00 - 18:45 (Europe/Copenhagen) | AIR LAB, Rued Langgaards Vej 7, Copenhagen S, 2300, Denmark
We are thrilled to announce the third and final Feminist Technoscience Film Club of this semester! We will watch two episodes of the South Korean drama My Holo Love (2020) and warm up with the short film Alexandra (2019) directed by Anna Brynskov. Expect hologram, AI, and blockchain technologies on screen 👾
Alexandra takes place in a greener future where two students negotiate their electricity use with Alexandra – a blockchain system that manages with firm hand. A critical-feminist comment on algorithmic decision-making.
My Holo Love is about the woman So-yeon who by coincidence becomes the betatester of Holo – a hologram- and AI-based personal assistant. Friendly feelings emerge between So-yeon and Holo, but competing developers are after the Holo prototype, and Holo must use all of his machine intelligence to keep So-yeon and himself safe. The K-drama looks into Korea’s commercial tech start-up culture and wraps it in cute melodrama and far out imaginaries about AI.
Afterwards, we will form a circle with our chairs and have a collective discussion on bodily relations & machines, future imaginaries about AI, solutionism, gender roles, and impressions from the audience. 🛸💗
WHAT: Screening of My Holo Love + Alexandra, followed by discussion
WHERE: AIR Lab at IT University of Copenhagen
