Verktøykassen (the Toolbox) is BEK’s meeting place to learn about and try out technical tools, be it both hardware and software. There is a low threshold for participation and a high hands-on factor. Each time, a new “theme of the day” is launched, and the participants can come with inputs or questions that are raised jointly. Verktøykassen takes place regularly, and is led by game developer and programmer Stian Remvik.
For this Verktøykassen (the Toolbox) we have invited the artist David A. Rios to teach us the basics of mechanical transmission of power. We will use simple electrical motors, gears, pulleys and other means of transmission to implement movement into your works.

In this second part of Vertkøykassen, we will look at several ways you can use face recognition. We will take one step further from the first part, where we learned to set up openFrameworks and the add-onxFaceTracker2 that does face recognition. It is recommended that you attend the first part or have experience with Xcode and programming.

In this Verktøykassen (the Toolbox) we will learn basic soldering. We start by creating a prototype on a protoboard, which we then will move to a permaprotoboard. In exhibition scenarios or other similar uses where, for example, your Arduino is to be used by people, it is essential to secure solder links to prevent the circuit from breaking.
