Brought to you by MCASD’s Teen Art Council, this workshop takes its cue from the work of Tara Donovan and her ability to create astounding works of art out of everyday materials. Join Minneapolis-based conceptual electronic duo Beatrix*JAR as they spread the good word of electronic recycling through a hands-on circuit bending workshop.

Circuit bending is a do-it-yourself sound art, which allows individuals to find new, hidden organic sounds by repurposing discarded electronic toys, rescued from homes, thrift stores, second-hand shops, and garage sales. Workshop participants will take apart battery-powered sound devices and manipulate the circuit board to coax unusual new sounds that the manufacturer never intended.
