SPECTROSCOPY 5 Days of DIY Electronics Workshop with Martin Kuentz & Jo FRGMNT Grys @ CTM.10 – OVERLAP
During the course of the workshop theoretical and practical themes which pertain to the construction of the electronic devices will be discussed. The build electronic devices will be presented in an installation at the end of the workshop.

Using the techniques of homemade kitchen chemistry, practical physics and self made electronics, the participants will build a series of devices that transform unseen and unheard phenomenon into visible and audible ones. The electromagnetic spectrum will be used as an object of artistic investigation and practice.
Day 1: Beyond the Acousmatic Supermarket
Transforming manipulated everyday objects into sounding sources.
Discover the vibrant nature of matter and kinetic objects.KEYWORDSAudio capture, selfmade ambient microphones, ultrasound, expanded hardware, architecture & ambience, resonance, electroacoustic experiments
Day 2: Audibility of Electromagnetic Fields
Investigating the city environment for invisible /inaudible electromagnetic fields.KEYWORDSNatural environmental signals, electromagnetic phenomenas,ow frequency radiation, ELF
Day 3: Wireless Imaginary
Exploring the world beyond the wireless Radio and FM-communications bands, utilizing available wireless gadgets, mobile phones and home made amateur radio inventions.KEYWORDSTranslocal wirless networks, eavesdropping, jamming, time & space dislocation personal broadcast, spectrum wideband detection, signal sniffing, VHF, UHF
Day 4: Light to Sound Modulation
Utilizing the photo-electric effect of solar-cells and light-sensitive diodes for detection and modulation of all immersive light from various wavelenghts.
Build your own local optical point-to-point communications network nodes.KEYWORDSSound-to-light modulation, Laser-, Point-to-Point communication, remote sensing,
Day 5: Spatialization
Manufacture a portable spatial polyphonic sound system.
Relocalize and project sound-parameters.
*Special guests Marc R. Dusseiller and Andy Gracie
A real optical spectroscope, using light, prisms and some phototransistors. it might be a way to follow/listen to chemical reactions…
Short bio:
Marc R. Dusseiller is a transdisciplinary scholar, lecturer for Micro- and Nanotechnology and artist. He works in an integral way to combine science, art and education. He performs DIY-workshops in lo-fi electronics, music and robotics, has made various short movies and is currently developing means to perform biological science (mammalian cell culture, microfluidics, live-microscopy) in a DIY fashion in your kitchen or your atelier ( http://hackteria.org ). He is also co-organizing dock18, Room for Mediacultures, and various other engagments like the diy* festival as the president of the Swiss Mechatronic Art Society, SGMK.

hackteria | open source biological art
Hackteria is a collection of Open Source Biological Art Projects instigated in February 2009 by Andy Gracie (UK), Marc Dusseiller (CH) and Yashas Shetty (IN). The aim of the project is to develop a rich web resource for people interested in or developing projects that involve DIY bioart, open source software and electronic experimentation. In this session, co-founder Dr. Marc Dusseiller will introduce the field of bioart in a simple language by explaining the works of hackteria. Audience will get to understand how hackteria, as a community platform, encourages the collaboration of scientists, hackers and artists to combine their expertise, write critical and theoretical reflections, share simple instructions to work with lifescience technologies and cooperate on the organization of workshops, festival and meetings.
