• Pirate radio, noise generators and chaos lights
• Do-it-yourself electronic art close-up, and cool hacks for everyone
There is currently a boom in do-it-yourself electronic art, also called bricolage. Famous artists from Germany and Switzerland show how easy it is to get started: ‘bitnik’ from Zurich, famous for their bugging action in the Zurich opera house, build a simple pirate radio; the Kassel designer Olaf Vla presents a construction kit for a DIY variation on the game boy; Niklas Roy alias ‘Cyberniklas’ from Berlin gets music, and much more, from a crazy squeaky organ. Home Made Electronic Arts is aimed at interested lay-people and professionals, and explains important terms and their meaning in the context of the history of art and the media.
Dominik Landwehr is a media scientist from Winterthur. Verena Kuni is an art and media scientist from Frankfurt am Main.
