SNUFF_theoretic/praxis seminar about traffic & wireless
telecommunications where participants construct an analog and portable
device able to amplify into audible ranges electromagnetic activity
produced by Bluetooth data transfer, WLAN, mobile phones, GPS,
wireless phones, microwaves and several other electronic devices.
During the workshop topics related with non-regulated traffic,
vulnerability, data transfer interruption, obstruction and sniffing
are presented/discussed.
SNUFF_amplifies electromagnetic activity into audible ranges, exposing
high frequency ranges produced by wireless devices overused in
contemporary societies, this electronic device designed by http://r-aw.cc
to de-codify electromagnetic pollution produced by wireless
networks, it´s an analog and battery-operated receiver able to amplify
and de-modulate frequency ranges between 0.1 GHz to 2.5 GHz.
This electromagnetic pollution is used by http://r-aw.cc as an impulse
to modify the acoustic space with audio visual performances, printed
matter, lathe cut vinyl in different formats, objects, publications
and pedagogic strategies. Through the process, several experiments
have been produced ranging from the amplification of electromagnetic
activity produced by wireless devices to the amplification of
microwaves, computer based applications to visualize data traffic and
public performances.
://r-aw.cc is a platform based in Berlin & Mexico City researching
topics about irritation, data corruption, propaganda, design, hidden
signals amplification and psycho-acoustics through collective working
processes, site-specific interventions and publications in different
formats.
