BENT FESTIVAL NYC, APRIL 26-28

Saturday, April 28th, 12pm

The School of Perpetual Training presents “Usernomics 1.0”. Participants will learn how to interface hacked USB keyboards with Macromedia Flash and other interactive computer programs to explore alternative ways of interacting with the computer. In the first hour participants will disassemble USB keyboards and experiment with various materials and soldering techniques to create unique and unusual external interfaces. The external interfaces will be used to control the movements of an onscreen avatar. In the second hour, participants use their newly created devices in a competition to control an online “worker”.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own computer and random electronics junk.

2 hours. TICKETS – $10
