Workshop: Casey Anderson, RADIOS
June 22, 2018 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Free
Indexical and Idea Fab Labs present a workshop and talk with artist and educator Casey Anderson. Join us at 8pm for an overview of radio technologies, the construction of simple transmitters, and a group performance of Anderson’s own compositions for radios.
various interference procedures with radios
Join Casey Anderson for a celebration of the creative misuse of electromagnetic energy waves and their propagation in space. The workshop begins with an overview of radio technologies, including demonstrations of mechanisms that productively leverage the physical phenomena of radio waves, and culminates with the construction of simple radio transmitters. Participants will then receive an overview of Anderson’s compositions for radios, a collection of minimal, scalable, instruction-based pieces often deployed in public and performed by non-musicians. In the final component of the workshops, participants collaboratively explore various interference procedures, distribution strategies, and other creative misuses of radio technology, to make tangible the underlying phenomena that supports radio communications systems.
