This hands-on workshop introduces the development of wireless MIDI devices for interactive artworks, instruments, and exhibition installations. Using the <a href="https://enomik.grantler-instruments.com/" title="https://enomik.grantler-instruments.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Enomik Toolkit</a>, participants will build MIDI controllers that read sensor data (touch, movement, light, pressure, etc.) and transmit it wirelessly, enabling sound, visuals, and digital environments to respond in real time. The toolkit is built on ESP-NOW MIDI, a low-latency wireless MIDI protocol. The protocol can be deployed independently in standalone implementations, and the web application can also be used with custom ESP-based hardware beyond the standard Enomik boards. <ul><li>Wireless MIDI (<a href="https://github.com/grantler-instruments/ESP-NOW-MIDI" title="https://github.com/grantler-instruments/ESP-NOW-MIDI" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ESP-NOW MIDI</a>) as a tool for interactive art and experimental instrument making (using the Enomik Toolkit)</li><li>Designing MIDI controllers that read sensor input and transmit it wirelessly (using the Enomik Toolkit)</li><li>Making physical objects respond to MIDI (motors, relays, servos, LEDs, etc.) (using the Enomik Toolkit)</li><li>Optional advanced wireless setups for interactive systems (working directly with the ESP-NOW MIDI protocol)</li></ul>

This workshop is ideal for artists, designers, and researchers interested in building playful, responsive installations and experimental interfaces without getting stuck in technical complexity.

Thomas is an artist and creative coder whose practice moves between interactive systems, sound, and experimental instrument making. He developed ESP-NOW MIDI and Enomik 3000, a zero-code toolkit for creating custom MIDI devices and networked instruments. His work explores how sensor-driven interfaces and wireless communication can shape performative and spatial experiences.He designs and builds his instruments under <a href="https://grantler-instruments.com/#/" title="https://grantler-instruments.com/#/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Grantler Instruments</a> and is part of <a href="https://3e8.studio/" title="https://3e8.studio/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">3e8</a>, a studio for interactive exhibits and productions with creative technologies, located in Vienna and Berlin.
