Translations:The Hacked Orchestra @ Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ/2/en

Hackers & Designers is a group of artists/designers/toolmakers/technologists who explore technologies and their role in contemporary life by opening them up together, and experiment with learning by doing. In a series of events under the name Hacked Orchestra, the collective teams up with artist Ghenwa Noiré, SoundLAB and Sonic Acts to explore the radical social potential of active listening in the shape of informal, improvisational sonic dialogue sessions. During our first event at this iconic location in Amsterdam we will engage in intuitive forms of communication, listening and interacting with others, through sonic gestures. In a workshop and evening program we will explore how hacking and bending electronics circuits can distort, amplify, muffle, highlight or otherwise inform unspoken modes of communication.
