Saturday, September 10th, 12pm – 3pm
Participants will experiment with the materiality of electronics, learning how to build and solder a simple circuit. The workshop will be oriented toward experimentations with the use of raw material as part of the electronic circuit. There will be instructions on how to grow your own piezoelectric crystal in order to create a low tech microphone. The workshop will also be an occasion to share and discuss ways of thinking and doing with and through material as something in constant transformation rather than stable things.
