Working in network
mimoSa are workshops to create a machine capable, even in a small
scale, alter this scenario of media production and repression in
Brazil. We believe that people start tho think critically about media
when they start to produce their own media. And, at least in Brazil, a
new system of media distribution is a way to achieve a better
distribution of power, representation and visibility.
During the workshops, a group of people (participants) will work
together with artists, artisand and activists to create and
operate this machine.
The machine should be able to:
- record public stories throughout the mobile phone into a web
server;
- record public stories throughout microphone into a database on a
portable computer;
- broadcast it in FM;
- play it loud on speakers
- record movies troughout the mobile phone into a web server;
- record an Audio CD to each of the interviwed, with her/his own storie
and with all the audio database
- spray on a street wall a telephone number and code and a web address
where people passing by will be able to hear the stories
The workshops are divided in:
- Constructing a machine: 3
classes to prepare a portable machine to burn CDs and record sounds
from mics and mobiles
- Programing on Mobiles I: 3
classes to prepare a server to receive and record mobile call and
mirror it for turbulence server
- Programing on Mobiles II: 3
classes to prepare the server to send the audios to mobiles and play it
online
- Audio: edit and transmit: 3
classes to learn how to edit, remix, codec and transmit audio
- Media for urban intervention:
3 classes of tests on the machine using it around the museum
- Urban intervention and information
correctional: 3 classes of urban intervention with the machine
and data analisys
The plastic format of the machine really doesn't matter. It will always
have a imperfect body, because it does have living cells. It is a body
without organs.
