Workshop with !Mediengruppe Bitnik (.ch \/.uk)<\/p>\n
Radio is a surprisingly straightforward media – you only need to assemble a few electronic components for a low-range broadcast with your own micro FM transmitter.<\/p>\n
In this workshop participants soldered their own low-range FM transmitter using a predesigned printed circuit board by piradio.de (a Berlin based free radio initiative). Once assembled, this board gave every participant a 0,15 Watt transmitter with mini-jack input and USB as power source. After a brief introduction from !Mediengruppe Bitnik to some of their more recent works related to media hacking, the group experimented with different ways to use our FM transmitters: As a tactical tool, an artistic device, a communications media.<\/p>\n
No previous soldering experience required!<\/p>\n
!Mediengruppe Bitnik is an artists group based in Zurich, Switzerland.<\/p>\n
Their artistic practice is focused on medial systems, mediatized realities and live media feeds which they like to manipulate and reproduce so as to give the viewer a novel and refined understanding of their mechanisms. In doing so, Bitnik aims at revealing functionalities and operational methods which allow other uses and extend the utilities of these systems.<\/p>\n
Bitnik are currently in a three-month residency at SPACE media lab.<\/p>\n
