Part of a series of events exploring the making of live immersive art and multimedia experiences.

Join Escape Room makers and Immersive Theatre fans Clockwork Dog in this hands-on limited-capacity workshop led by co-founder Tom Dixon.

COGS is an easy-to-use software/hardware platform for running escape rooms, immersive theatre, multimedia artworks, live games and many more examples of interactive, experiential projects or events.

Tom will teach participants to map all kinds of inputs to outputs by building up simple logic steps which determine what you want to happen and when.

This is an introductory and beginner-friendly workshop — no experience necessary!
