iMAL Workshop: Center for Networked Intimacy - Dasha Ilina

With Supi, we attended a workshop by Dasha Ilina. We built a circuit that plays the sound.

Breakfast Club #12 (25-Jan-2023)

With grgr, we built a vernacular-improv-coffee-brewing-tower. Also grgr made a wiki for the crunchy project!!! We read <Wonder> from Dear Science together, thinking of flying cheekbones, crunchy projects and multifarious textures and hues. Later joined by Jian, Suzzana and Aglaia.

kimchi making with Jian / her thoughts on awkward-clumsy tools which make you think

The crunchy sounds of cabbages(rubbing cabbage with your hands) are like the sound when you step into the fresh snow.
Barcode / the clumsiness and awkwardness in tools and making your own circuits. 지안이 보여준 프로토타입에서 케이블들을 본인의 손으로 이어, 서킷을 잇는 그 제스처, 그 어색함이 일으키는 어어..? 이게 지금 무슨 일이지? 새로운 시선, 새로운 경험, 다른 방식으로 접근하게 되는 것. 갑자기 나의 몸이 전도체가 되고, 어떤 개념 (예컨대 전류의 흐름)이 체화되어서, embodied experience되는 것.

week 5 (13 Feb - 19 Feb)

Prototyping: Git / individual tutorial with Manetta

Nice to hear from M, which parts she found intimate during this muti-channel headphones. She said: "small details made super intimate". Such as...

1. volum gets smaller since I used the audio splitter. The further you get from the audio input, the smaller it gets, so you need to really focus and try your best to listen
2. She could understand what was happening tech-wise. You know because of multiple audio splitters, you could listen to the same audio with many ppl.
3. There is something about one can join with their own earphones or headphones. Unlike the regular-ordinary gallery setting, where you might have a similar setting: one can listen to the same audio file or video file. The possibility/the fact that one can bring their own headphone and plug in, there is something very intimate.
4. Because of the number 2. one could tweak the connection and have better-quality of audio.

breakfast club #15 (15-feb-2023)

This time, we collaborated with PZI-Archipelago team. This session was open for all masters and a lot of ppl showed up, which was super super nice. I met a lot of people from lens-based and also a few people from fine arts. There was an interesting conversation on the budget cut, since the number of Fine Art students is also only 6. Maybe it would be nice to reach out to them and find ways to help each other.
