| Tactical
Gizmology Workshop
Presented by Critical Art Ensemble with Beatriz da Costa
In
this workshop, students will learn how to use low-tech electronic
devices for the purposes of localized interventions. Materials
used in this workshop can be found in any electronics store, and
in most cases, they can be used by anyone armed with a soldering
gun and a minimal amount of electrical know-how. You don't need
to go to engineering school to be a tactical gizmologist; amateurs
and hobbyists are welcome.
Beatriz
da Costa is a robotic artist who among other things is a master
of gizmology. Currenty, she is an Associate Researcher at the
Studio for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon University. She
is currently collaborating with CAE on the Gen Terra biotech initiative,
and on developing theoretical and practical models for contestaitonal
biology.

Critical
Art Ensemble (CAE) was founded in 1987. The Collective has been dedicated
to exploring the possibilities of tactical media ever since. In that
time, CAE has done cultural and/or political actions, interventions,
and provocations all over North America and Europe in various locations
ranging from the streets to museums to the internet. CAE strikes by
any media necessary.
