Detektors :: the rhythms of electromagnetic emissions, their psychogeophysics and micrological auscultation by Martin Howse and Shintaro Miyazaki ::

AlgoRhythms of mobile phones 2 with detektor prototype from Shintaro Miyazaki on Vimeo.

Almost any electronic gadget can be transformed into an audible and sometimes rhythmical sound object. “Detektors” is firstly (A) a cartography of user-generated geolocational sound recordings, logs and walks, which reveal hidden electromagnetic geographies of our urban areas and secondly (B) a database and catalog of sonic studies of electromagnetic emissions produced by our everyday electronic devices.

“Detektors” is an open, collaborative project which uses sonic strategies and DIY-devices to make audible the hidden infoscapes of
our time. The presentation will show data, recordings and cartographies of different spectral ecologies and trans-sonic machinic
assemblages.
