<pre>Channelling Interference Workshop<br> <br>Full information here:<br><a href="http://ryanjordan.nnnnn.org.uk/doku.php?id=workshop_resource" target="_blank">http://ryanjordan.nnnnn.org.uk/doku.php?id=workshop_resource</a><br> <br>Channelling Interference is an experimental performance exploring<br>biofeedback and the bodies crude replication and integration into<br>electronic circuits. Using homebuilt amplifiers and electrodes the body is<br>connected into a circuit with cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors. Electrons<br>shot beyond the phosphor coated monitor screen contact the body and create<br>bioelectrical feedback loops within the circuit resulting in distortions<br>of sound and image. The body acts as resistor and antenna controlling<br>electrical flow and channelling electromagnetic energy, such as radio<br>signals. Multiple bodies can be connected to expand the “living” circuit.<br> <br>This workshop will expand and explore upon this idea over the course of<br>two days through experiments into bioelectromagnetics, approached from a<br>creative and amateur scientific way. Experiments and attempts to replicate<br>neuron, axon, and membrane circuits with self constructed hardware<br>techniques and basic equipment will be undertaken. Attempts at the<br>amplification of electric potentials existing in the body will also be<br>explored. All circuits will be attached to the body via self constructed<br>electrodes and integrated into the CRT circuit. Multiple CRT monitors and<br>combinations of linking participants bodies together will be experimented<br>with to lead towards a live public performance at the end of the workshop.<br> <br> <br>Day One - Saturday 28th April 2012<br>11:00 - 18:00<br> <br>Construction of amplifiers and electrodes<br>Amplification of bioelectromagnetic properties of the body<br>Construction of various cell mimicking circuitry<br>Connection to the CRT<br> <br>Day Two - Sunday 28th April 2012<br>11:00 - 17:00 workshop<br> <br>Continuation and experimentation with cell mimicking circuits<br>Re-wiring CRT monitor inputs<br>Explorations of feedback with multiple circuits, multiple bodies,<br>and multiple monitors<br> <br>19:00 - 21:00 public performances & demos<br> <br> <br>/--->/APPLICANT INFORMATION<br> <br>This workshop is limited to 8 participants.<br> <br>Ideally this workshop is looking for a range of participants from<br>electronic music / sonic arts, new media, dance, performance art,<br>neuroscience, and people with knowledge of the physics of the human body.<br> <br>No previous experience is necessary but may be beneficial.<br> <br>Send notifications of interest to ryan [at] nnnnn.org.uk<br> <br>Workshop cost is £60 for 2days and covers all materials.<br> <br>Location: nnnnn, Unit 73a, 8 Andrews Road, Hackney, London, E8 4QN.</pre> </div></body>
