Mentor

Antony Hall (UK), who loves to do Tabletop Experiments, works on various projects and participated at earlier HackteriaLabs.

Target audience

students high-school / university, geeks, emerging artists, hackers, educators

Registration

limited place to particpate, max 12 people.

Enki workshop proposal / outline

Participants become experimental subjects investigating general issues around extra-perception, electro-physiology and ‘body as electrical image’ key concepts in Enki project.


Presentation on Enki

Activity: Demonstration of electrical organ discharge activity using phones as sound source for generating electrical field. Participants wear amp and loop to create electrical field to transmit like the fish, and using pickup coils to attempt to navigate and communicate without using visual perception.

Enki Activity: Interconnection to Enki experiment to test and explain electrical image concept.


extra perceptual systems in animals

Electro physiology activity: Using charts to map electrical levels on skin and body. Perhaps these can become part of the exhibition?


Discuss experiment results and ethics

Body image and perception activity: Perceptual experiments to show that self-perception, more specifically, the location of the ‘self’ is plastic and not concrete. Rubber hand experiment, and drawing exercises.


Material preps

  • GSR sensors? (contact Marc - salami sensor)
  • 2-4 x Velman 12v 18w amplifiers £8-12 each – or make our own using Lm chips but that a whole workshop on its own.

I got the NanoAmp pcbs, but with lm386 only 0.5W .. i can prepare them or part of the group can make them.

  • 1x roll of Electrical cable (got it)
  • 2-4 x Mini guitar am style amplifiers £15, what you mean?
  • 2x Pickup coils £12each (we'll get some...)

Printing large A3 charts to map volt meter measurements of skin votage and polarity. Discuss if this is noise or actual measurements.
