#MAC SOUNDHACK MAC#
You CAN freak out your mac via playing with Open Firmware, but if you really mess it up, you can pull the PRAM and restart it with defaults. On an old mac, you can use a ROM-extraction utility and play it as audio (above), which would be much easier. You would have to take out the chip (tricky), read it, hope that the audio isn't encrypted or compressed then write it again. From the "goodies" menu click "Open as raw audio".
You would then by some method save the ROM back into the machine (eprom burner or the ROM file theory).ĮDIT: SndSampler works. Recording too soon or too far would of course render your ROM useless as it would write over real code. You would get to the point it starts playing at and write over your own raw audio. What I suggest is running the entire ROM through an audio player that can play and record raw audio and theoretically it should play the chime at some point (the rest would probably just play as noise). The fee for the workshop was $40, which covered the cost of workshop materials.Making a firmware updater would be tricky.
No previous electronics, hacking, coding or performance experience was needed – just a desire to experiment and play.Įnrollment was limited to 10 participants and was available on a first-come, first-served basis. The workshop/performance was open to any one 14 years and older. She is interested in sharing technological knowledge so that the sonic transformation of public space becomes less of a specialized artistic activity and more of an ordinary occurrence. Thompson regards her transmission of open-source technological skill as the core component of the performance. The workshop began at Video Pool with a Freestyle SoundKits building session, followed by live sonic and movement-based interventions in the public spaces of the Exchange District.

During the performance, the artist gave her project to the public by teaching workshop participants how to make their own Freestyle SoundKits, which they can distribute as they wish, using whatever sounds they choose. – wearable sound pieces prototyped by the artist – that generate and broadcast electronic beats as users move through the urban environment. The performance/workshop involved building Freestyle SoundKits Jessica Thompson presented Freestyle SoundHack, a collaborative performance in the form of a workshop.

Through presenting performance works that play out a variety of modes of social interaction with audiences, (in)visible cities provided an arena in which to further animate the stories, histories and economies of the Exchange District. The city – our city – is network of living cultures with heterogeneous but intersecting communities, systems, flows and struggles. (in)visible cities also included a round-table discussion on performance practice, identity, community, agency and place. Performance and Activism in Everyday Life, led by Cheryl L'Hirondelle, Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan, is a two-day workshop expanding ideas of performance art practice in relation to collaboration, community, and activism.įreestyle SoundHack, led by Jessica Thompson, is a one-day workshop/performance involving the creation of wearable sound pieces that generate and broadcast electronic beats as users move through urban environments. To further engage audiences as both participants in and witnesses of the work, (in)visible cities presented two performance workshops: Cultural theorist Jeanne Randolph (Winnipeg) will act as (in)visible cities’ rapporteur/blogger, providing insightful commentary as festival events unfold. (in)visible cities included live performances by an array of internationally renowned artists including: Cheryl L’Hirondelle (Vancouver), Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan (Winnipeg), FASTWÜRMS (Creemore, ON), Jessica Thompson (Toronto), and Nhan Duc Nguyen (Vancouver).
