[Tetsuo Kogawa] The Ghost and the Leech actively explores alternative radio constructions, ranging from powerful transmission devices (1W+ FM), which can well extend the range of personal broadcast, through the psychophone [Franz Seidl] for time/space dislocation, to simple parasitic gadgets, harvesting power from radio waves [fernsehturm]. Participants will construct a selected device, gaining knowledge of simple principles and methodologies. The workshop proposes an imagination which extends beyond "free radio", "natural radio"; an inserted ghost question for polymorphous radio prosumers, Berlin's new Raketenmensch ["live forever, in a clean, honest, purified Electroworld"]. Workshop fee: 10 euros [all parts and food] Please email [email protected] to reserve a place.
