SUMMARY:Imagining Radical Communication with a DIY FM Transmitter
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nThis is a beginner friendly workshop that will teach attendees how to build a small FM radio transmitter while [hopefully] breaking the assumption that you need an engineering degree to start building your own electronics. In addition to teaching technical skills\, we will be offering a brief political context of radical radio organizing\, past and present\, and how people can start to think about building their own communication networks to keep themselves and their neighbors safe. Understanding radio is a great first step in demystifying networked communication. \nThis workshop requires no previous electronics experience and will consist of actions like hand-placing small components and wires and placing them in a breadboard. Participants will leave with a working radio transmitter that is powerful enough to transmit about one city block and a small publication with instructions for building the circuit and some examples of how radio and DIY networks can be used for radical organizing. Through the process of building electronics and learning together\, we hope that this technology will inspire folks to explore radio as a form of communication and experiment with broadcasting as a radical medium. We hope participants will leave the workshop feeling more empowered to take control of their online presence and potential to broadcast. No prior electronics experience is needed! \nRegister at the eventbrite! \nBios: \nHannah: \nHannah Tardie (they/them) is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work exists as sculpture\, installation\, essays\, event organization\, and performance. Tardie views electronics as rich transferential objects through which we can explore intimacy\, attachment\, and queer relationality. Their work has been shown at La Gaite Lyrique\, SPACE Gallery\, Westbeth Gallery\, One Brooklyn Bridge Park\, Arts\, Letters\, & Numbers\, Vox Populi\, Pig Iron Theatre Company\, and online via websites like Artsy.net\, maps-dna-and-spam\, and p5.js. Tardie has participated in residencies at Arts\, Letters\, & Numbers\, ChaNorth\, Alterworks\, Crit NYC\, and the Media Archaeology Lab (forthcoming). Tardie was on the organizing committee of the 2021 experimental iteration of the Movement and Computing Conference\, lovingly termed Slo MoCo. They solely organized Temple University’s first Electronics Faire in 2024\, an annual event they continue to steward. Tardie currently manages a makerspace at Temple University Library’s Loretta C. Duckworth Scholars Studio. \nDerek: \nDerek Schwartz (he/him) is an audio engineer\, writer\, and technologist practicing the art of weaving networks. His values are rooted in DIY music culture\, and prior to coming to Philadelphia\, he spent time in St. Louis as a music writer and production assistant at KDHX Radio. In his current audio practice\, he produces\, mixes\, and records audio for film and music\, and creates experimental audio projects that play with waveforms\, radio\, and physical media. He is currently pursuing a Masters of Science in Music Technology at Temple University. \n

SUMMARY:First Friday with Test Patterns: Video Synth & Vintage Gear
DESCRIPTION:Join Artists-in-Residence\, Test Patterns\, at the Termite TV Collective Studio at Cherry Street Pier on Friday\, June 6 for public offerings of workshops learning basic techniques of video synthesis & play with vintage and circuit-bend gear.  \nAbout Test Patterns Named after the geometric shapes transmitted by early television stations to test their broadcast quality\, Test Patterns is an experiment in form. The project pairs video art with live performances representing a range of artistic mediums\, building on the lineage of experimental video art and bringing it to new audiences. \nBios:\nNia Benjamin is a Black\, queer\, multidisciplinary artist\, a projection/installation/video designer\, a director of experimental theater\, and the co-artistic director/co-founder of Ninth Planet.

Blush Something is a musician\, performer\, video artist\, and organizer living in West Philly. Her work centers on education\, collaboration\, and connection across communities. Gralin Hughes\, Jr. (aka Television Sky) is a multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of sound and visuals\, merging these forms through projection mapping\, audio/visual live performance\, and installation art. Sarah Milinksi is a queer/non-binary multidisciplinary artist\, educator\, and designer based in West Philadelphia\, With over a decade of experience in community media education. These five artists are the core collaborators and organizers of Test Patterns\, an experimental video art television show and educational project aimed at preserving\, expanding\, and challenging the uses and possibilities of video art and synthesis.
