Proposal: Experimental Instruments for Non-Humans

Proposed by Ava Grayson
Completed!

1 meeting took place:
Experimental Instruments for Non-Humans
already happened: 7 May 2017 13:00 — 18:00

Temporary is closing on 1 September 2017. No further experiments will be scheduled, though you can still pledge Temps as supported experiments may form a starting programme for the post-Temporary project.

Description:

In this experiment, I want to explore the possibilities of encouraging our non-human organisms to make their own noise and music through human intervention.

Every participant who is interested should come with an idea of the organism they want to build their instrument for. We then discuss the possibilities of how to build an instrument for different kinds of critters, plants, etc., and then hopefully get cracking on a prototype.

Participants should bring whatever electronics, bits and bobs, and found things they think could be used (either for their project or someone else's). I will buy some basic electronics, and those who end up using them would kindly be asked for a 5€ reimbursement.

Goals:

To think about how to interact with a noise- or music-making object from the perspective of a non-human

To tinker with new kinds of objects (or tinker with old objects in new ways)

To perhaps end up with something playable for your plant/critter/pet bacteria at home

Timeframe:

Sometime in mid or late April

How often will this happend?:
Happens only once
Intended participants:

Organisms wanting to build instruments for other organisms

Sounds fun and has a lot of potential!
I'll be there if it happens (though don't have any Ŧ yet...)

This looks great, we'll schedule tomorrow. Should we wait til The Dialectics of Space is over? Any particular date in mind?
