(0) describe recent work:
The so called "klangboard" is music instrument for everybody who never have learned guitar playing. made out of an recycled ps/2 keyboard - combined with microcontroller and a small amplifier. It contains 2 oscillator with different waveforms, more than 3 octaves in the chromatic scale, a lot of buttons with different functions and with the builtin amplifier is it also possible to play it at the campfire. Everybody who is a pro in the touch-typing system/method - is this a useful instrument.

The ultimate goal should be a manual for a simple build of the device.

(1) discuess it within a broader cultural and historical context:
To work with obsolete technology is nowadays a common praxis. It seems that the reasons for this is to redefine the relation to artifacts or reinterpreting the object or bringing the thing in to a other position in the new network!

(2) articulate methodology:
abuse und misuse of technology - mediaarcheology - exaggeration - WE
The art and research discussion is nowadays very fashionable and artist, scholars and researchers justify or discover everyday the best thing for everybody. I got a little bit the feeling that this his whole "wild" methodology discussion is already scientific structured. If somebody would ask me "what is your methode" then i would simply answer "i try to work contra intuitive"!

(3) Notes for an essay:
I want reflect on the artist - technology relation! Thats now very broad but i will focus on an aspect in this discussion in the next weeks.

(4) Quates for an essay:
""The hand is not only the work of labor, but also its product.(Engels)" Also is technique and material not only a medium for the artistic work, but also their product. The material can be elicited possibilities what appear at first impossible. The boundaries and limitations, which imposed the material for the artist and the art style, they are fluid the can be exceeded." quote from a letter from Bernhard Reich to Walter Benjamin.

"Today, when people say that something is transparent, they mean that they can see how to make it work, not that the know how it works. In other words, transparency means epistemic opacity." Sherry Turkle - How Computer Change the Way We Think
