A new series of weekly workshops and monthly salon events at xxxxx_micro_research [Berlin]; an independent research centre focusing on the expanded construction and experience of free software and open hardware.

[Kirlian and Kirlian, 1961] Kirlian photography effects a transition or translation, a series of exchanges which are subject to varying, over-determined interpretations. Photographic emulsions and imaging techniques are explicitly opened to the electromagnetic, acting as a medium for another form of perception, an exchange primarily between biologic systems and presencing or bringing to light. open_kirlian is the first in a new series of working groups projecting the intense, collective one day investigation of diverse research fields relating to core concerns. The open_kirlian working group will explore the domain of Kirlian photography, from the production of a high frequency, high voltage supply, through experimentation with varying photographic processes and techniques towards the assessment of Kirlian process images using [in]organic specimens under varying conditions. Participants are welcome to bring relevant documentation, high voltage supplies or components, digital or analogue cameras or materials, objects to be imaged within the Kirlian process. All participants take part at their own risk. The working group will briefly present the afternoon's research at 8PM. All welcome.
