REVERSE is a multidisciplinary workspace and art gallery with an emphasis on new and experimental forms of expression. Run by artists, REVERSE is a platform that supports emerging artists with the production and presentation of new work, as well as a space for dialogue and exchange of ideas through exhibitions, workshops, lectures, screenings, and different events.

This workshop is for artists, developers, educators or anyone interested in experimenting with the Raspberry Pi. We’ll start from the basics and move quickly towards setting up the Raspberry Pi to run your own video projects. By the end of the workshop we’ll have built up an installation-ready Pi for your video based and interactive pieces.

We will be discussing setup for gallery installations, installing software, adding your own video content, setting up playlists and hooking up to external displays. Bring your own video content and we can help optimize for the Pi.

If you already have some Raspberry Pi accessories, such as WiFi, cases, camera modules and sensor hookups, bring them as well.

We will also be offering a Kit which will include a Raspberry Pi and SD Card to get started as an option with the workshop fee.
