Radioscapes Symposium - 31 August

Join us coming Sunday while we investigate how radio signals construct public space.

What role do we play in these digital environments? Who has access to these invisible layers, and who is excluded? And what does it mean to render such ubiquitous but hidden signals visible?

Radioscapes Symposium - 31 August

We constantly move through a sea of radio signals. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cell towers and satellites form an invisible landscape that permeates our everyday lives. These electromagnetic waves shape how we communicate, move and live together - and yet, we never see them.

Each place has its own digital texture, a rhythmic noise of wireless communication.
Who designs these networks? How exactly do they work and why do they work the way they do? How do they influence our movements, choices and freedoms? And how can we take back control, not just as users, but as builders of the technological landscape? To understand how these systems work, we will first make them visible.

Another day of working in the studio, building this accidental path to technological insanity. 1/4th there :))

I thought.. maybe it would be cool to share a bit more of my daily proces :) .

I've been investigating the Bluetooth protocol in the last few months, and looking into the implications of the bluetooth radioscape on our daily lives.

Coffee and Tech at @instrumentinventorsinitiative

We spent the evening making DIY batteries from scraps :) . We tested the properties of different metals and media in between, constantly measuring the output of our DIY power source.

One of the outcomes was this battery made from copper tubing (cathode), a galvanised screw (anode) and wet/salty toiletpaper inbetween (the medium carrying electrolytes), connected in series.

"A walk-in space to work on creative technologies together + a demo on how to power a light using soil, seawater or potatoes!

From 17:15 to 18:00, @Chris_ty will give a short demo on how to power LEDs using soil, seawater, potatoes, or any other materials you’d like to transform into a battery. 🪫🔋Reserve a spot through our website!"
