The workshop was organized by microplayground, a media art group from Taiwan, who invited me (馬可) together with a group of other artists, such as Keith Lam from HK, Aymeric Mansoux and Lee Chun from goto10, UK, and Pei and kiilo from CH.

I was teaching a Physical Computing workshop together with Tobias Hoffmann aka kiilo, hacking some toys, making some NAND noise and fiddling around with the arduino.

check the wiki for the workshop to get more info!

and it was even in the TW Yahoo News.

Playaround workshop is hold by NCTU and ITRI in the summer of year 2008. We invite a professor and many digital media artists from England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Hong Kong and Taiwan to stimulate participants' creativities. This workshop consists of puredata, arduino, floss art and physical computing and play around the creativity with Taiwan young students. Through the popular interactive media, the students can create prototypes of combination of technology and art.
