Thomas Piquet
Engineer-researcher at Metalab of SAT. PhD in microprocessor architecture and specialized in embedded computers. 
After several years working in the industry (cell phones, intelligent public displays&#8230;) and while continuing to develop his artistic skills (in composition, sound design, mixing and acoustics), the opportunity arose to combine everything and return to the research field with SAT&#8217;s Metalab. 
His research interests target the reduction of the infrastructure needed to create immersive spaces. Thanks to embedded computing, the costs are greatly reduced (in economic and energy terms) while having a minimal impact on performance. 
At the same time, he participates with the Silicon Beats collective in multiple live cine concerts and electronic music collective jam performances.
Émile Ouellet-Delorme
Developer-researcher at the Metalab of SAT. He joined the team in 2018 after completing two diplomas in software engineering and digital music respectively. Over the past few years, he has worked on software for both visual and audio immersion, and his specialty resides with physical modelling of acoustics. On a personal level, he&#8217;s dabbled with audio composition and improvisation of various styles for over a decade.

Thomas Piquet & Émile Ouellet-Delorme

During this workshop, we will be using off-the-shelf hardware and open-source software to create an interactive and immersive experience from scratch, in an impromptu space. While doing so, we will be learning about the tools and processes available to orchestrate the basic elements such as evaluating the available space, setting up projection mapping, calibrating video projectors and sound equipment and employing a software pipeline to glue it all together. The participants are welcome to contribute their own creative content (video and audio). We will be able to use and display it in our immersive space.

Paulina :
Paulina is a motion capture expert who exists at the intersection of movement and technology. Throughout her experience gained through her education and career path by working and studying in four different countries, she developed her passion for animation and game design. Her previous experience working for tech companies has become a manifestation of bridging technology and innovation to make professional motion capture more accessible, easy and creative.
Rokoko :
Rokoko is a motion capture company based in Copenhagen, Denmark. It spearheads a paradigm shift in how developers work with human motion data. For decades, digital tools have been counter to the way we naturally work. We are moving away from a past that constrained creativity and making a future where the tools are playful and intuitive for everyone.

Paulina & Rokoko

This Master Class will deepen your understanding of motion capture technology focusing on IMU systems. You will learn the history behind motion capture to lay a solid foundation on what it is and why we need it. We will use the Rokoko IMU system as an example of getting started with motion capture while deep-diving into workflows and the endless possibilities for digital content creation.

Elliot Woods (UK) is a digital media artist from Manchester UK.
He graduated with a Masters from the School of Physics and Astronomy and entered the arts following the founding of studio Kimchi and Chips in 2009 where he currently tests alternative relationships between images and reality. Here he participates in conceptual and technical design of projects, and develops techniques in computer vision, machine learning and robotics. His works reveal the implicit nature of systems therein suggesting to audiences revelatory experiences about nature and reality. He has created large scale light field art installations which draw floating images of the sun out of sunlight, or moons from 600 calibrated projector beams. Elliot has contributed to the openFrameworks and VVVV creative coding platforms and has released over 100 open source libraries for free on GitHub.

Elliot Woods

Elliot will give an overview of the technical systems of Kimchi and Chips’ Another Moon : A network of 40 towers that collect sunlight during the day and then project calibrated laser light back into the sky to form a second moon in the sky. The project incorporates mathematical systems, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, optical engineering and network engineering. The first half of the lecture will focus on the hardware systems, and the second half will focus on ‘Non linear fitting’ : a set of machine learning systems that can be used to calibrate, measure and control artworks accurately. This technique is used in almost all of Kimchi and Chips artworks to create an additional layer of intention and finesse to their work.
