Project: Detektors

Sun 27th 2.20pm-2.40pm
Open Platform Stage

Almost any electronic gadget can be transformed into an audible and sometimes rhythmical sound object. “Detektors” is firstly a cartography of user-generated geolocational sound recordings, logs and walks, which reveal hidden electromagnetic geographies of our urban areas and secondly a database and catalog of sonic studies of electromagnetic emissions produced by our everyday electronic devices.“Detektors” is an open, collaborative project which uses sonic strategies and DIY-devices to make audible the hidden infoscapes of our time. The presentation will show data, recordings and cartographies of different spectral ecologies. The work has been presented as part of paper presentation at ISEA 2010 RUHR. Detektors.org is initiated by Martin Howse and Shintaro Miyazaki and is accessible all the time.
