Tinkering Workshop
The workshop proposes the performers to explore the technical material as a potential partner for (co-)work, not only in a performative context. Practical exercises will focus on working with analogue electronics, soldering and circuit bending, using methods such as disassembly and 'trial and error'.
Learning outcomes
The aim is to eliminate the distance between creators and technical objects by turning the reality of the latter 'inside out'. Manual exercises will be accompanied by free discussions on the philosophy of hacking in terms of creative use of technology, the concept of 'dirt' in contemporary technological art. Suggestions from workshop participants will also be given space.
Prerequisites and other requirements
