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.

Are you a (self-taught, aspiring or even professional) musician, performer, producer, great listener, vocalist, coder, circuit-bender or hardware hacker? Or are you just generally interested experimental sounds? Then join us for a 1-day workshop in active listening and sonic dialogue, and hack together your own sound tool to play with, using a Teensy board. We will co-host this workshop with performer and artist Ghenwa Noiré and SoundLAB jam facilitators. No prior electronics, coding or musical knowledge is required, genuine interest and some tolerance for noisy environments will suffice.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
After a short break we will continue with a Hacked Orchestra evening program, co-curated with Sonic Acts and SoundLAB. Expect an evening of conversations about jamming as collaborative practice, and special guests who will demo their DIY musical instruments live. Explore some of the instruments at SoundLAB or bring your own to join a short jam session led by Ghenwa Noiré!

* '''Paula Montecinos Oliva''' (CL) is an Amsterdam-based sound artist, performance maker and researcher. With an embodied, decolonial and techno-feminist approach, her practice questions the materiality of sound, listening and movement, through DIY analog synthesis, vocals and research of frequency phenomena and somatics. Paula’s current project Sonic Feminist Fabulations, explores radiophonic format as a performative space, linking listening, sonic archives, bodies and vibrations to diasporic global south experiences. <nowiki>http://www.paulamonte.cl/</nowiki>

== Access notes ==
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Both the workshop room and the Atriumzaal are wheelchair accessible. The building has a walking bridge that is quite steep, you can also enter the building from the ground floor and take an elevator up to the Atriumzaal. The building has a wheelchair-friendly elevator and bathroom. There are accessible - paid - parking spots below the building, in the Piet Hein parking. The workshop part of the event will be held mainly in English, but we can also facilitate in Dutch, Arabic and French. This will be a noisy workshop, so taking breaks and stepping out whenever needed is encouraged! The guest program, although less speech-heavy, will be held in English.
