OLE, Master class

Phase II – Master Class
Cairo 22 March – 5 May (2010)

An extended version that took place in Medrar for 40 continuous days gathered 8 participants in one room together with 2 experts for advance training. The goal of this workshop was to assess the enthusiasm within artists towards constructing their own sustainable modules for digital creation, where they can later act as a local capacity of reference and skill.

Two main techniques were taught in the workshop:
– Pure Data: real-time multi-media environment and programming language.
– Arduino: electronic interface to the real world and control devices.
Some other techniques and technologies were taught: soldering, circuit building (basic level) and sound editing.


In the memory of Ahmed Basiouny a dear friend and great artist who devoted much to OLE. He started writing his PHD about Open Source Community In Arabic language and was killed by the Police during the Egyptian Revolution 28-1-2011.
