Aura Machine: Electronics Workshop & Sound Walk with Vicky Clarke

Saturday 3rd February, 2024

10.30am - 3.30pm

All-day building workshop and sound walk session, led by sound and electronic media artist, Vicky Clarke. 

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

In this session participants will solder an AURA MACHINE, a DIY EMF circuit

that detects Electro-Magnetic-Frequencies and uncovers noise fields and

electrical rhythmic patterns in our environment. Participants will learn about

electronic circuits and components, read schematic diagrams and learn about

artists working with induction technologies.

Practical and hands-on, the session is open to beginners, you will learn how

to solder and hone your technique. Once built we will use our AURA

MACHINE circuits to tune in and listen to the electrical phenomena in the

immediate environment, undertaking a sound walk around the local space,

either listening through headphones or amplifying the noises through mini

speakers.
