about

Every first Tuesday of the month we invited Digital Arts Resource Centre (DARC)  members and members of the arts community at large to bring their lunch for some lunch time tech talk. This was a great opportunity for participants to have a close look at some of our trickiest and most popular equipment on offer. DARC’s Equipment Demos covered a wide range of topics from audio and cameras to all the small bits and bobs of our equipment library that seem inconsequential but really make a difference in your final product.

All workshops in Equipment Demo were facilitated by our tech guru and Equipment Manager, Jason Sonier.

This workshop series was free for  DARC Members and members of the arts community at large. Registration was not required.
