[aha] [xxxxx] scrying workshop Berlin 1-2/4 July Berlin

[T_Bazz]

Scrying is a technique of divination and revelation, of producing
visions, perhaps of the future, through prolonged gaze at an object,
usually of crystal or liquid nature. Scrying was famously practiced by
the 16th century astronomer, mathematician and alchemist John Dee with
the assistance of presumed impostor Edward Kelley, using a mirror of
obsidian amongst other devices.

Scrying presents the third part in a series of practical workshops
examining electromagnetic [EM] substance within the constructed
environment. These previous workshops, Maxwell City, in Oslo and, more
recently, Demons in the Aether, in Dortmund trace a clear spectrum of
concerns, a novel route informed by the work of James Clerk Maxwell,
with the notion of entropy and thus ecology bridging physics and
information theory; from thermodynamics now into the digital domain.

Scrying thus moves from detection of a twinned EM architecture, a
ghost city, through active intervention or transmission, towards an
idea of making sense within the social regime of signal and
noise. City-wide EM phenomena will be explored primarily from the
perspective of a modulated, data space. The workshop participants, are
transformed into detectors, coherers and detectives, attempting to
make sense of an equally ghosted landscape composed of leaked signals
and questionable [EVP/ITC] transmissions.

Across three days, the scrying workshop will explore and construct
city-wide EM phenomena within the data space domain, examining
techniques of digital forensics, of signal archaeology overlapping
with contemporary artistic concerns. The scrying platform, an open
hardware project concerned with the design and implementation of low
power (enabling long-term, solar-powered urban installation) devices
interfacing code and EM practice, will be used during the workshop.
