1st workshop on the appropriation, modification and intervention on an (home) appliance (WAMIA)
Claus Scholz - MM7
Once seen as part of a mechanization process, home appliances are now seen as part of a digitization and "smartization" process. The 1st workshop on the appropriation, modification and intervention on an (home) appliance (WAMIA) is not dedicated to such (grand) narratives of an apparent culture of technical innovation. Rather, WAMIA is searching for a way to get your hands dirty on, in and around the device! In its first edition, WAMIA is dedicated to the topic of autonomous robotic vacuum cleaners and is accompanied by the following questions and thoughts:
- how do robotic vacuum cleaners clean?
- reverse engineering of circuits
- observation of behavior
- reverse engineering based on imitation / reenactment ("what is it like to be a robotic vacuum cleaner?")
- planned obsolescence of home appliances
- robotic home appliance utopias/dystopias of the past and now (Claus Scholz "MM7", roomba surveillance, ...)
- how much of an "cybernetic tortoise/turtle" (Walter, Zemanek, Papert, ...) can we find in a robotic vacuum cleaner?
- luddist and feminist critique of boys&toys
- irony/parody of autonomous robots in art/design (Monochrom "der exot", Paul Granjon "Fluffy Tamagotchi", Sašo Sedlaček "Beggar Robot", Akira Kanayama(Gutai) "Pollock’s drips painting machine", ... )
- robotic vacuum cleaner as publishing platform?
- appropriation, modification and intervention
workshop will be run by holunder (elderberry) and joak

Schedule
2023-2-9 Thursday
- 10:00 - 13:00 introduction & reverse engineering
- 14:30 - 17:00 reverse engineering and call for ideas for the next days
2023-2-10 Friday
- 10:00 - 13:00 working on devices
- 14:30 - 17:00 working on devices and summary
Information for participants
No prior knowledge is necessary to participate in the workshop. If a person cannot attend both days, it is recommended to attend at least the first day! XPUB2 students can interrupt the workshop for their GRS slots ( sorry for the time overlap :D )
