Electronics: Archives of Emit Snake-Beings

Process: 

  • Working close to the margin of error to introduce an element of chance.
  • Some things that 'work' and many that never did function the way they were intended :)) happy accidents  
  • The unity of opposites (Coincidentia Oppositorum or Coniunctio*): the 'scientific precision' of electronics and coding with imaginative methods
  • 'Against method' (but not completely: Historically many scientific discoveries result from a combination of discipline, rigor, deviation from routine through error, dream and vision (see the 'electric shrine to Nikola Tesla' -only available through coupon number) 
  • Permaculture approach to electronics - no drill method, components 'planted' on surface 
  • Disruption of 'monoculture' and standardisation: handmade/one-off electronics maximise the chances of error

Electronics made in the DiY [do-it-your/self-learnt] method, creative coding, complex Arduino machines to chop up sound, animist electronics,
