SNUFF: WIRELESS NETWORKS SONIFICATION WORKSHOP

SNUFF_theoretic-praxis seminar about traffic & wireless telecommunications
where participants construct an analog and portable device able to amplify
into audible ranges electromagnetic activity produced by Bluetooth data
transfer, WLAN, mobile phones, GPS, wireless phones, microwaves and
several other electronic devices. During the workshop topics related with
non-regulated traffic, vulnerability, data transfer interruption,
obstruction and sniffing are presented/discussed.

SNUFF_amplifies electromagnetic activity into audible ranges, exposing
high frequency ranges produced by wireless devices overused in
contemporary societies.
This electromagnetic pollution is used by http://r-aw.cc/ as an impulse to
modify the acoustic space with audio visual performances, printed matter,
lathe cut vinyl in different formats, objects, publications and pedagogic
strategies. Through the process, several experiments have been produced
ranging from the amplification of electromagnetic activity produced by
wireless devices to the amplification of microwaves, computer based
applications to visualize data traffic and public performances.

SNUFF_electronic device designed by http://r-aw.cc/ to de-codify
electromagnetic pollution produced by wireless networks. An analog and
battery-operated receiver able to amplify and de-modulate frequency ranges
between 0.1 GHz to 2.5 GHz produced by wireless based networks.

://r-aw.cc is a platform based in Berlin & Mexico City researching topics
about irritation, data corruption, propaganda, design, hidden signals
amplification and psycho-acoustics through collective working processes,
site-specific interventions and publications in different formats.

Tags: non-regulated traffic, high frequency demodulation, microwaves,
narrow band spectrum, 2.4GHz, wireless networks, routing, addressing,
network packet capture

Target: People interested in data sonification, animism, entropy, magic,
vulnerability, tactical media, unstable systems, noise, actionism, custom
electronics, editorial processes.
