Standuino is the inovative force in hand-made electronic music and open source hardware as well as theoretically and historically driven movement that results in artworks, bands, workshops, happenings and writings.
Standuino started as a clone board of popular Arduino but adapted to even more DIY approach of eastern region (=bastl). With this powerful tool it became part of many art installations and enabled our research team to build prototypes of many different devices most importantly musical instruments.
The whole concept of Standuino is inspired and covered by the story of a pioneer of media art – Standa Filip. The name Standuino goes mainly from Standas name but also stands for what Standuino is best at – the standalone applications.
We are based in Brno (CZ) and Vienna (AT).
