GLI.TC/H BIRM preview: Easy Circuit Bending

GLI.TC/H has started and on Saturday November 19th it’ll be making its way to VIVID in Birmingham, UK! The full programme is available here, and as a PDF. Over the week I’ll be providing a bitesized overview of the upcoming events.

Workshop: Easy Circuit Bending

Nikki Pugh presents a workshop exploring the basics of circuit bending. Add a light sensor to a desk toy in order to distort the sounds it makes by waving your hand over it. A bit like this:

This workshop will guide you through the basics of soldering and the sometimes-a-bit-tricky steps needed to modify the toy’s circuit. At the end of the workshop you’ll have an ‘improved’ button to take home with you. Prior experience of soldering isn’t necessary, but a high tolerance of beepy noises is essential. All workshop materials will be provided. Helpers from the fizzPOP hackersapce will be around to assist.

Bio

Nikki Pugh is an artist interested in interactions. It turns out she also likes beepy noises.

She co-founded the fizzPOP hackspace in 2009 and has been organising events and workshops introducing others to fun and creative applications/deviations of technology ever since.

Nikki uses her rudimentary understanding of electronics alongside her skills in taking things apart to do things like things like mapping the built-up-ness of New York, experiencing the sonar-navigating abilities of migrating whales and giving people vibrating bundles of bubblewrap to take into the alleyways of Digbeth.

Destructural Video – Leeds International Film Festival 2011

What is your glitch? 1bitgifavibmpbmpcmykbmprgbjpgmpgpcxpixpngppmsgisvgtgawebp will be screening alongside some more awesomerererer glitch videos at Destructural Video as part of Leeds International Film Festival 2011 on November 17th

Can the electronic stutters, crashes, errors and glitches that we encounter with technology in our day-to-day lives be considered beautiful in their own right? This programme of extraordinary video work showcases contemporary artists who exploit and explore the imperfections hidden in the signal/ data structures of moving image technology to striking effect. Recalling early video art experiments and key films from the Structural movement, these sometimes abstract but always emotional videos ultimately reveal the human qualities inherent in the technology we have created, electronic warts and all.

This free screening will take place at Granary Wharf at 20:30. Be there or be q̢̘͔̖͎͕̗͓͓̩͇͕̳̪̟̱̟ͯ͂͐͛̐͊͝ͅu̷ͮ̽͌̄ͪ̔̑̕҉̥̜̭̠̮͔̱͍̬̯̞ͅa̡̨͊̎ͩͮ̀ͭ̃̓ͯ̿ͧ̃ͦͨ́̚̚҉̝̤͈̻̮̪̳̠̟͈̖͔̪̼͔ŗ͚̜̦̘̥̪̟̳̈̈́͐̓̌̇̔̎̈́͋̀͞ȇ̢̜͖͕̖̥̰̝̪̖̥͓̭͖̫̈̏̄̔ͅ
