In the “Rhythmic Light Wearable Workshop”, participants will enter the world of sound-reactive light circuits, learning to use breadboards (a solderless universal circuit board) and electronic components to design a sound-responsive lighting circuit. At the end, participants will receive a wearable light-and-sound device that operates on the same principles with the option to add their chosen LEDs. Through hands-on experience, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the creative relationship between light and sound, creating unique wearable devices that flicker in response to music or ambient sounds, and integrating DIY electronics into daily life.
This workshop welcomes all individuals interested in sound creation, with no technical background required.
Light artist Amy Chan and dramaturg Natalie Cheung collaborated on multiple cross-media projects including "Things That Talk," "Inter-Face," "Sound Forms: Re-turn," and "Sound Astronauts," exploring the dynamic relationship between light and sound. Their works feature DIY circuit installations, interactive sensor devices, and more. They lead workshops on light and circuitry in various communities, as well as in primary and secondary schools. Their research is prominently featured in international journals and conferences such as Critical Stages, Performance Studies International (Hamburg, London), and the Prague Quadrennial.
