DIWO - Do It With Others

Leadtext
To engage with the most pressing issues (environment, social injustice, globalisation) of society, artist have embraced new transdisciplinary practices, which combine the use of open source tools (OST) and hacking strategies in a collaborative manner with "others". DIWO (Do It With Others) Culture will introduce such strategies through case studies, hands-on experimentation and team projects to the students. This first edition will focus on OST for environmental monitoring and artistic interpretation.

Target Audience
Artists & designers, socially engaged practioners, creatives in general, researchers, hackers, activists and anyone interested in DIWO Culture - HaSTA.

No previos knowledge in electronics, hardware or software tools is necessary, but a basic interest in learning something new is crucial.

'''Max. Participants is 12.'''

In case of high interest the participants will be selected by a criteria to increase diversity of the group (gender, cultural background, skills and previous educational training)

Learning Goals

 * basic understanding of a selection of open source tools for environmental monitoring
 * first steps into sensing and electronics
 * learn how to use open source tools for aerial mapping
 * improve cross-cultural / transdisciplinary communication and collaboration
 * get insigth and compare different artistic practices in a global context

Content
The course will be held in english.

Part 1: Introduction and Case Studies
 * Introduction into hacking strategies
 * Group discussion of examples of artistic & activist practices
 * team formations

Part 2: Practice and Experimentation in Teams
 * Basic overview of environmental mapping methods

Good playground for first flying exeriments.



Test Flights with 360 cam






Mapping Expedition TWO - Riverside
We arrived at the Riverbank just before sunset and decided to mount the Mi Sphere 360 camera, despite the little drops of rain. There was some electric power lines and we carefully flew some balloons trying not to get to close to them. Very fast darkness fell and the lights of the city flashed up...







creating stabilized 360 videos
Download and edit using the Mi Sphere app on android or iphone. Troubles with the low-performance phones like xioami 4x. Use the export function in the app, which creates a rectilinear version of the file.

My research and experiments with DIY aerial photography in Palestine-Israel focuses on civic science in spaces of civic inequality mostly in East/West Jerusalem. It shifts away from the focus on environmental issues; though the environment is always there within a range of systemic rights abuse, from discriminatory urban planning, through land expropriation to forced displacement. I work with communities, NGO's and local institutions entangled in urgent issues who find it relevant and inspiring to create their own, high quality, local scale aerial photography. Some of the collaborations presented here are activist projects oriented towards a particular issue, workshop or event such as the cases of Beit Safafa and Silwan. Other projects present long term collaborative work which is made possible through ongoing collaborations with affected communities, funded through partnerships with NGO's and academic programs such as the work we do in west Jerusalem with the civic architecture unit in Bezalel, and the work in the Negev (south of Israel) with Zochrot and Forensic Architecture, and the research collaboration with Dorit Naaman in Qatamon.

= How to use this wiki =

Dear participants, please make sure you prepare your account and get some first experience in using a wiki, in this case it's MediaWiki the same software on which the famous wikipedia has been created. The previous link directs you to many instructions on how to use a wiki. look at it.

You should have received a login by now. Try it out and create a new page for your own project notes, give it a reasonable name and make sure you add the folling line at the end of the page, so it will be sorted all in the same category.



Please write a few sentences about yourself, add links to your other websites, blogs, biographies, artworks.


 * try to add images
 * "internal links" to other pages on the hackteria wiki
 * "external likns" to websites
 * embed a youtube video?

See an example Dominique Lämmli.

You can always click the "edit" link on this or other pages to see how stuff has been written in the mediawiki language.
