For this exhibition, Mark Hinch presents "The selfless companion", a digitally-powered physical object created to nurture the wellbeing of its user, revisiting the idea of the classic Tamagotchi with a contemporary slant. During this 3-hour workshop, you can go behind the scenes with Mark to learn how this interactive object was built and begin making your very own digital companion.

Absolute beginners are more than welcome! This workshop will involve some basic programming. If you don't have any experience or this sounds intimidating, rest assured that you won't need to write any code yourself, and you can simply copy and paste your way to interactivity.

This workshop will involve basic electronics and programming. Absolute beginners are very welcome. Please bring your own laptop.
