USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Receptions & Special Events
Admission is free.
RSVP required. To RSVP, see the workshop schedule and reservation links below.
Mark Allen, founder of the Los Angelesâbased nonprofit arts collective Machine Project, will present a hands-on workshop in which participants will learn how basic electronic circuits function by creating a synthesizer. This unique event is not merely a how-to workshop, but a multimedia performance uniting fundamental information, hands-on use of soldering tools and musical performance by the band ing, who will play throughout the event. The workshop, which will be presented twice, will culminate in a group jam session as each synthesizer begins to function.
Mark Allen is the founder of Machine Project, a nonprofit community space in Echo Park that investigates art, technology, natural history, science, music, literature and food. In the Machine Project storefront, Allen and his colleagues produce events, workshops and site-specific installations using hands-on engagement to make rarefied knowledge accessible. In his own work, Allen is interested in how sculpture and performance can affect the viewer in a deep, personal way, moving the viewer from a passive position to a state of engagement and communal experience.

The workshop will be repeated twice. Participants may sign up for one workshop only.
