Circuit Bending 101 - 10th September
For all those with inquisitive minds, I’ll be hosting a circuit bending workshop as part of the British Science Festival on 10th September
A three-hour workshop in which you’ll learn how to make unusual noises by creatively modifying toys and other devices.
Circuit bending is the creative art of making experimental modifications to toys and other small devices, making them perform in unexpected ways, making new sounds and discovering new functions. Explore the basics of circuit bending, including soldering, and try it out on your own battery powered toys or devices.

Glitches interrupt the smooth realism of our mediated experience of the everyday world, from malfunctioning train announcement boards to distorted video streams and white noise in our phone calls. But is it only machines that glitch, or does ‘glitching’ exist in nature too?
