This 2-day hands-on performance-oriented session will try to bring you all the long way back to the earliest days of the organic battery, to re-discover it and link it to contemporary Low power consumption Integrated Circuit Hex Inverters. The weak energy concept when made in connection with an organic battery, makes this experiment possible, exciting and non-harmful (although generally forbidden in the world of electronic circuits).
Using only organic materials we will turn electrical confusion into sound by having it travel through circuits powered by different organic sources. We invite you to think of the battery as an artistic-experiment, approaching it's changing aesthetic from a different angles - the musical one; to value the organic battery as an unstable noise generator. We challenge ourselves to build organic battery systems from different foodstuff and play it freely as a musical instrument without diving too much into electronic-laws and discover the most interesting things about galvanic battery - the ways that different materials can affect the battery itself and the function of a simple electronic sound-circuit (miss)playing both of them.
|Daily|
Day 1 (ñ)
Making batteries, involving various kind of food and drinks, determining current and voltage.
Wiring cells in series, parallel and mixed.
Building modules based on Hex Inverter IC
Powering and playing them with the organic battery.
Day 2 (ñ + JohnG)
Constructing and testing collective musical experience.
Evening: neo-future BATTERY GALA!
|Participation|
Every one who likes to experiment
9 maximum
|Fee|
100 eek both days
|Remember to bring|
Creative energy and joy to play around with the 'battery-noise' Different foodstuffs and drinks: Boiled(!) and raw potatoes and any other fresh and boiled vegetables; fruits on your choice; acidic liquids, coca-cola, wine, beer. Cheese is good electrolyte too. You might also use some old food, not to waste a fresh food.
Soldering iron (if you have one)
The rest is provided. No previous knowledge or experience with batteries and electrical circuits is necessary.
