For Unravel The Code 2k16 we will take this expanded understanding of radio as our topic and departure point as Digital Craftsmen. We will dream up devices that make these radio systems more present and visible. We will open them up to critical inquire. We will tune in to poetical intervention and aesthetic experience. We will recount obscure histories as well as meticulously construct new narratives that lie in the grey zone between craft and the electromagnetic spectrum.

Roel Roscam Abbing - Pretty Fly For A WIFI

Unravel the Code V - Unravel Radio Marathon

When you hear the word radio, one might think nostalgically about AM and FM, car tunes, or talk shows. With over a hundred years of human radio transmission behind us, what then is radio's contemporary relevance? We have the internet right?

Radio is, however, much broader than a commercial broadcast. It is an essential infrastructure in our lives, and one that is fundamental to many technologies we depend on. At any given moment the air is filled with signals -- from cell phone packets to a bus driver walkie-talkie chatter, airplane tracking and bluetooth mouse movements, from satellites beaming down to the beep of wireless keys, the hum of electrical devices and much much more. All these technologies, and even ones which are part of 'the internet', such as Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, microwave towers...are radio based. In short, any electrical device which lacks wires and still works (hence: wireless), works via radio. If that is not enough relevance, it is also good to note that radio itself is a natural phenomenon that older than mankind. Its strongest broadcasters are the stars. And it is deeply physical.

For Unravel The Code 2k16 we will take this expanded understanding of radio as our topic and departure point as Digital Craftsmen. We will dream up devices that make these radio systems more present and visible. We will open them up to critical inquire. We will tune in to poetical intervention and aesthetic experience. We will recount obscure histories as well as meticulously construct new narratives that lie in the grey zone between craft and the electromagnetic spectrum.

MICA & Minor Pre-Marathon Meeting

MICA and Digital Craft Minor students plan a 5 min Skype/Hangout/Facetime meeting to discuss the following:

  1. share a love/hate about your current program (of course no bad talking about UTC ;)
  2. share an anecdote on radio (your secret extra-sensory electromagnetic perception, what the car radio's double function was when you four, or the time killed it on NPR's sunday puzzle)
  3. share a memorable photograph of your past that fits under the title “ the moment I knew what I wanted to do”.

The purpose of this pre-meeting is to have the first exchange to be on a peer to peer basis and break the ice before the marathon begins.

MICA Presentations

On Wednesday afternoon all students will have 3 minutes to share their interests and approach to their practice. Considering collaboration can continue well beyond the project week it could be interesting to see on what basis can students connect. Please prepare a short 5 slide presentation on the following format and have it ready as a pdf.

  • Slide 1: A memorable photograph of your past.

(That fits under the title “ the moment I knew what I wanted to do”)

  • Slide 2: What do you make?

(Tell us in one image and one slide about creative background)

  • Slide 3: What is your topic of interest?

(Explain a past/current Q9 project topic or what you wish to research in Q10)

  • Slide 4: What is your medium?
