DIWO as a powerful method of sharing & exploring


The real long-term future of computing consists of figuring out how to make the best possible use we can out of the literal millions of devices which already exist Solderpunk, 2020, Cited in de Valk, 2022)[1]

// Graduation Proposal: Salvaging sound devices

In this project, I will research the various ways in which abandoned media can be repurposed into sound devices. I consider "abandoned media" to be discarded devices that no longer serve their original intended purpose yet could still function as something else. For instance, a printer that has an “Internal Communication Problem” being repurposed into a percussive instrument. I’ll explore the ideas of speculative sound circuits, where playful and absurdist methodologies are applied to create sound using various unlikely technological devices (Richards, 2018) [2] , and Salvage Computing[3]. This will happen in a series of DIY/DIWO workshops/hangouts. The workshops will be hosted at Klankschool [4], together with Riviera Taylor.

Workshops

During the hangouts, we will explore various methods around salvaging components and dismantling devices , making our own instruments using these materials, live coding hardware through MQTT/OSC servers & applications, and everything in between. Ultimately, they could lead up to a BYOP (Bring Your Own Printer) Orchestra. The hangouts will be at the Klankschool and involve the Klankschool community. The hangouts are hosted in collaboration with Riviera Taylor, who’s writing a thesis about Community Server Maintenance, and creating her project around the KlankServer.

We're already having an (un)repair night every thursday, so if you're in the neighberhood, come by!

// Field guide

The field guide can offer the reader guidance in the identification of components (Electronic components such as resistors, transistors, etc.) when salvaging. It will include recipes for using the components to create sound devices, and examples on how this was approached during the DIWO gatherings.

The field guide is an open-ended, pocket sized publication, so the reader (and me) is invited to take the publication outside, further investigate, annotate and experiment with the discarded materials.

I have set up a documentation tool on the klankserver, which has already been pretty helpful. It is built using markdown/CSV-with-Jinja-to-HTML-to-CTRL+P.

BUT...

  • Electronics is hard: How to make the workshop accessible?
  • Salvaging causes a scarcity of materials: Not very workshop friendly?
  • Fallback scenario: what if nothing works?
