We had a great time doing Remixing the Physical (3 weeks of workshops) and KulturSYDhavn! Thank you to everyone who visited the barge and participated in all the weeks of workshops and fun that we had.

Here's a short video recapping some of the fun!

Hope to see you onboard illutron soon...

Hyrdophone Workshop Friday: 17-20, Saturday 13-16

2011-08-04T13:34:00.001+02:00

Hydrophone is an underwater microphone. You can hear fish talk, boats from 400m distance, whales singing or whatever sounds underwater.

In practical the hydrophone is a piezo transducer with a preamp inside a waterproof case with a little air gap. The cases we are using are just everyday tupperware - waterproof boxes, or tobacco boxes, etc.

On friday at 17:00 we will build a preamp. This is all simple
soldering - if you haven't soldered before - you will learn it now!

After that we will close the box, and have some tests. Saturday is an
extra day in case we are not ready on friday.

What will you need:

- a waterproof case, such as a metal box, stiff plastic box, etc.
Something that doesn't break and is possible to close.
- bring soldering tools if you have
- cables as long ones as you want the hydrophone to dive
- 50-200 kr for cables and little electronics (will be more exact sum closer the weekend)

What you won't need:

- any previous experience in technics or soldering

Workshop runs on friday 5.8. 17-20
Saturday 6.8. 13-16

Fire for Africa! (illutron partners with BetterNow)

2011-08-01T13:42:00.003+02:00

You want fire, kids need food. illutron, in partnership with Magic Mama has the solution: donate to get fire! During the entire weekend of KulturSYDhavn you can donate and get the opportunity to set off our fire cannon! For every massive fire explosion, more and more children in Africa will get much needed food. You can donate here: http://tinyurl.com/ildkanon and print your receipt (or show us it on your phone) and we'll give you the big red 'fire' button to press!

Magic Mama is a creative and open minded collective in Copenhagen's inner city who make many cultural events.

Ildkanon skaffer mad til de sultende i Afrika.
Kollektivet Magic Mama står sammen med illutron bag en indsamling til fordel for de sultende på Afrikas Horn. Besøgende kan donere 100 kr. og derved få lov at trykke en kæmpe ildkanon af. På den måde får du ild og børn i Afrika får mad!

Du kan sikre din ret til at fyre ildkanonen af ved at donere på dette link: http://tinyurl.com/ildkanon

Print din kvittering og medbring den til arrangementet. Magic Mama er et kreativt og frisindet kollektiv i Indre By, der bl.a. arrangerer forskellige kulturelle arrangementer.

SCHEDULE of Events!

2010-08-06T12:22:00.004+02:00

KulturSYDhavn Programme (Schedule of times and activities below)

Schedule is subject to change without notice, we’ll update as often as we can!

KulturSYDhavn will take place on and around the illutron barge from the 6 - 8 of August, 2010. Throughout these days, many installations will be running including:

Tug of War: One half of the rope is in the Sydhavn quay, and one half in Islands Brygge; as players pull on their end, the other end reacts remotely, and the winning team sets off the fire canon. At each site, the end of the rope not being pulled will be in the water, giving the impression of going to the other area.

Interactive Lights: Turn the knobs to change the color of the lights - in remote locations! Affect lights at Islands Brygge from Sydhavn and vice versa!

The Fleet of Floating Islands: Take a boat ride back and forth between Kulturhavn at Islands Brygge and the illutron barge at Sydhavn to experience amazing worlds contained in tiny islands.

Dangerous Playground: An interactive playground with unexpected interactions:
- Hairdryers that are dipped into bathtubs to create sound - Working?
- Light sockets you stick your finger into to create music
- Sound and light monoliths, responding to the playground with interactive lighting
- High voltage cables that respond to touch and pulling
- Street lights that are turned on by touch
- Metal plates that react to jumping, three areas are the ‘jump zones’ and result in music and sounds when jumped on.

A see saw with a life of it’s own: Correcting for weight distribution when people are riding it, the see saw caters to those who much lighter than their riding partners. When no one is riding, the see saw entertains itself.

Slackline: An interactive slackline, responsive to how you move on the line and how balanced you are.

Sail-in Cinema: A beautiful water based drive-in movie theatre, featuring Sirens serving
temptations in the form of popcorn and candy.

Fire Fountain: On top of the illutron barge, a fire fountain creates a truly spectacular scene of fire and energy, responding to the guests below.

Fire Cannons: Not for the faint of heart, a huge blast of fire jettisoned into the sky, a special occasion throughout the weekend.

Water Organs: A musical interactive experience, moving water organs in and out of the water to create harmonious sounds using only an old vacuum and tubing. The water organ works by moving it up and down to different depths in the water and hearing the resulting musical sounds.

Artist cafe: The lower deck of the barge will be transformed into a cafe on the water, providing coffee and conversation for those interested. Illutron artists will be enjoying a coffee and will welcome discussions with everyone. We will also offer a Kayak cafe, where people can enjoy the same discussions, in kayaks!

Gathering at the fireplace: Four fire baskets hang over the side of the barge, reflecting off the water and providing a beautiful warmth in the summer evening, enjoying a fire hanging in mid-air.

Hydrophones: Three hyrdophones are placed in the water which can hear when stones are dropped into the water. The sounds of the stones, depending on where they land, are transmitted to speakers on the shore.

Underwater vision: An underwater camera that sits on the bottom of the harbor, and transmits images to a screen onboard the barge. People can view the harbor floor while they visit the barge.

Bubbles: An air compressor pumps air into the water, which is lit by underwater lighting from below, creating a beautiful interactive element wherein people can set off the bubbles and see the results, a beautiful moment in the water.

Chill-out zone: A relaxing area to take in some sunshine or some shade, and enjoy a cold beverage while observing the fun and interaction going on around the quay and the barge.

DJs and Parties and VJs: Join us Friday night for a fantastic show of lights and sound as four DJs from SUMERU team up with our VJ team, the TELLY ZOOMS to provide fantastic visuals and invigorating beats. The barge becomes a blank slate, transformed by the visuals and the inside of the barge, the cargo room is transformed into a glow-in-the-dark paradise!

Pyramid on the water: A pyramid that listens to the sounds of the water, throw a rock near it or at it, and it will amplify the sounds of the water as the rock drops into the waves below.

±Pole by Ishac Bertran: an interactive installation presenting a tangible interface which allows multiple users to play with groups of particles and polarised elements. By placing wood blocks on the table, users have control over the digital elements on a projected surface.

KulturSydhavn

2010-05-05T23:40:00.009+02:00

KulturSydhavn samarbejder med Kulturhavn 2010 på Islands Brygge, og der vil være både sejlende og elektroniske forbindelser mellem de to arrangementer.

KulturSydhavn arrangeres af kunstnergruppen illutron.

illutron medbringer : En interaktiv kunstlegeplads på Teglholmen.

Ildtårnet

Et trefod af stål. En overdimensioneret bunsenbrænder sender computerstyrede flammer mod aftenhimlen.

Tovtrækning mod Islands Brygge

Den ene ende af rebet er på kajen i Teglholmen. Den anden ende af rebet er på Islands Brygge. Forbundet med sensorer, internet og mekanik.

Den retfærdige vippe

Den ene er tung og den anden er let. Men vippen kan mærke, der er noget galt, og kompenserer automatisk for ubalancen. Måske ud over kajkanten.

Vandstemte orgelpiber

Hænger i vandet og tonerne styres ved at hejse orgelpiberne op og ned i vandet.

Ører og øjne under vand

Hydrofoner (undervandsmikrofoner) og vandtætte kameraer, bringer dine sanser ud på dybt vand, uden at du får kolde fødder.

UC3 Nautilus
UC3 Nautilus Submarine

The UC3 Nautilus is the third in a series of submarines including Freya, and Kraka. The UC3 Nautilus is currently the world’s largest civilian built submarine and was named after the Nautilus in Jules Vernes 1870 novel 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’.

.. og mange andre af vores interaktive installationer vil vi bruge som grundelementer i arrangementet.
