BioData into Unity 3D & beyond!

Nanotopia & Neurochems are leading a 2-day workshop on:

Biodata-Sonification: into Unity 3D and beyond!

Saturday & Sunday December 10th and 11th 2022

The workshops take place online via Zoom, and will be recorded for later viewing,

Q&A’s outside of workshop times will be open via our Discord server.

• Saturday takes people through (step by step) building a biodata module & an Arduino Biodata Shield build, bringing the biodata into Ableton Live, TouchDesigner and working with various synthesizers with the biodata shield.

• Sunday takes people through incorporating Biodata with OSC in Unity 3D- this can be used in VRChat!

Controlling a game using your mind and connecting non-human organisms into your music, and 3D worlds.

For brain wave biodata: participants will have access to a database of different Alpha and Theta output for use during the workshop.

Workshops fees:

$40 includes access to the Brain Wave database for use during the workshop, and BOM* list to build an Arduino Biodata Shield** access to our Google folder and Discord Server where participants are welcome to ask questions along their biodata journey.

*electronic components list & where to buy them!

**Requires participants own an Arduino Uno & Solderless Breadboard.

The workshop series covers basics in working with the following applications: Ableton Live 11, TouchDesigner MIDI input controlling geometry, and other visuals, OpenSoundControl connectivity, OpenBCI data stream, Basic world building in Unity 3D, connecting data streams, and implementing them.

Neurochems aka Brendan Lehman is a Toronto based neuroscientist and coder. To learn more about them please visit, www.consciousless.net

Nanotopia aka Tosca Terán and Andrei Gravelle are Toronto based mycelium wranglers, synthesizer enthusiasts that have been researching and working with biodata-sonification of fungi for many years. To learn more about them please visit, www.nanotopia.net (volume up!)

We offer biodata module kits for $120CAD to workshop participants. Basic soldering skills + soldering iron necessary. Weller & Hakko soldering irons are the best and well worth the small investment! Check out Adafruit and Amazon for Weller and Hakko
