The two-day Earth Coding workshop explores links between contemporary technology and the Earth in an attempt to define and create a new form of land art. Through a variety of experimental activities, including telluric currents and earth antennas, the workshop aims to find possible answers to questions such as: ‘Can the Earth as a process be tempted to compose software?’. This workshop will include a field trip to a nearby natural terrain.

We recommend that participants bring along some form of recording, inscribing, or transcribing devices (tape or digital audio recorder, camera, film, pencil, paper, and so on). Headphones are also useful to bring

CONFERENCE

Martin Howse: ‘The Dark Interpreter’

Friday 27 February

14:00 – 14:30

Paradiso, Main Hall

Martin Howse

The domain of electromagnetics is conceived as a dark, invisible other, a conspiracy of unseen fields and forces, yet this domain embraces all light. Howse’s lecture-performance will attempt a high frequency, electric modulation of the human voice as light passed through a crystal, uniting deep earth currents and atmospheric signals with vocal bone- and tongue fragility. The lecture will bring to light a new technological animism, based on the history and physical science of electricity.
