THIS WORKSHOP IS FULLY BOOKED.

\n

STEI M is happy to welcome London/Berlin-based artist Martin Howse to lead a two -day workshop on sonic archeological techniques. Sonic archeology\, essenti ally\, is the exploratory probing of phenomena through sonic amplification\ , creating audible maps of otherwise un-detectable events in the natural wo rld. Examples range from the early phonographic experiments of Thomas Ediso n to the more paraphysical realm of EVP (electronic voice phenomena).

\n

Martin Howse workshop

\n

This hands-on workshop aims to equip the sonic archaeologist with a range of DIY techniques for forensic examination of the material and immaterial. A series of experimental situations will b e established: probing both sides of material and immaterial\, investigatio n through audible excitation\, transformation and detection (ultrasound\, i nfrasound\, interference\, light\, surface playback\, electrochemistry). Th e workshop will equally examine classical techniques of EVP (electronic voi ce phenomena) as well as new practices suggested by these strategies of det ection.

\n

During the workshop participants will learn to:
\n- pr actically stage classical EVP detection experiments (Juergenson\, Raudive a nd beyond)
\n- construct a quantum metaphase typewriter for communicat ion with parallel worlds
\n- build devices to play back and decode sur face marks and inscriptions
\n- make audible fluctuations in laser lig ht and electrochemical reactions
\n- translate ultrasonic impulses to the audio range
\n- work with the active construction of electromagnet ic emissions

\n

Dates: Dec 8-9\, 2012
\nTime: 11:00 - 18:00 (each day)
\nCost: €70 (includes materials)
\nLocation: ST EIM\, Achtergracht 19\, 1017WL Amsterdam
\nMaximum Participants: 15

Sound can be conceived as the expressi on of material undergoing specific physical stresses. As the earth is tappe d with the back of the shovel\, or as the cast metals of rail tracks are su bjected to immense forces by the wheels of an arriving high speed train\, i nformation is revealed concerning the often less than visible strains and m olecular interactions of the material world. It's a strictly epistemologica l investigation\, equally providing forensic material concerning an immater ial\, invisible world\; material for a certain psychic detective seeking to make sense of the world. Following Pitt Rivers\, this sonic archaeology ca n be summarised as excitation followed by detection.

WHAT TO BRING //

\n

We recommend that participants bring along some form of record ing\, inscribing\, or transcribing devices (tape or digital audio recorder\ , camera\, film\, pencil\, paper\, and so on). Headphones are also useful t o bring! All other materials will be supplied by STEIM and are included in the registration fee.
