CRACKLE OFF THE BOX - WORKSHOP & performance
August 18 - 21, 2010, 11AM - 6PM daily
With: Natalia Borissova Ru/De
@MoKS/Mooste Estonia
COOKING BATTERIES:
Creating recipes from unexpected ingredients to 'cook' batteries; Involving various kind of food and drinks, as well as earth and other to determine how much current and voltage is possible to get with each recipe tried; Wiring batteries in series to increase voltage and in parallel to get more capacity; You might like to design your own (battery-)dish for a table-installation as an artistic outcome.
CRACKLE OFF THE BOX:
How to pull out a wide musical noise-scape from body, food, fruits, vegetables, plants, earth.. while playing (with) them. During the workshop we will build a simple audio amplifier and adapt it's circuit that it turns into a kind of' CrackleBox/Kraakdoos - simple but an expressive touch- and pressure-sensitive instrument. The human body and any conductive matters become a part of an electric circuit (or the other way around) and determine the range of sounds possible. Different people, different materials, different combinations of 'touchpoints' will generate different results. We'll experiment, extend and expand the circuit with food, plants, our bodies and wire it around in space to 'crackle' off the 'box'.
