Humans & Machines is the experimental laboratory in art and technology that María Castellanos and Alberto Valverde have designed and taught at auLAB 2017, at LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial. Spain
The workshop has taken place during six work sessions, with students from 15 to 17 years old. It consisted in an approaching to the intersection between art, science and technology through the view of examples of artists, scientific milestones etc.
The wearable concept was introduced from an artistic approach, thanks to an practice exercise DIY that allowed students to experiment with sensors and actuators. It was possible thanks to a kit based on arduino developed by the artists María Castellanos and Alberto Valverde, a kit created specifically to teach and allow us to show students the possibilities of the technology. In this way, at the end of the workshop the students were able to produced their own wearable tech project
