[spectre] Channelling Interference Workshop | 22/06/2012 |

[Ryan Jordan]

Channelling Interference Workshop

BEAM Festival

Brunel Univeristy, London, UK



11am - 5pm

Friday 22nd June



Channelling Interference is an experimental performance exploring 
biofeedback and the body’s crude replication and integration into 
electronic circuits. Using homebuilt amplifiers and electrodes the body 
is connected into a circuit with cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors. Electrons
 shot beyond the phosphor coated monitor screen contact the body and 
create bioelectrical feedback loops within the circuit resulting in 
distortions of sound and image. The body acts as resistor and antenna 
controlling electrical flow and channelling electromagnetic energy, such
 as radio signals. Multiple bodies can be connected to expand the 
‘living’ circuit.
 
 This workshop will expand upon and explore 
this idea through experiments into bioelectromagnetics, approached from a
 creative and amateur scientific way. Experiments and attempts to 
replicate neuron, axon, and membrane circuits with self constructed 
hardware techniques and basic equipment will be undertaken. Attempts at 
the amplification of electric potentials existing in the body will also 
be explored. All circuits will be attached to the body via self 
constructed electrodes and integrated into the CRT circuit. Multiple CRT
 monitors and combinations of linking participants bodies together will 
be experimented with to lead towards a live public performance at the 
end of the workshop.
