</tt><tt> </tt><tt><i>The shapes of the chasms themselves become
"verbal roots" that spell out the difference between darkness
and light. Poe ends his mental maze with the sentence ― "I have
graven it within the hills and my vengeance upon the dust within
the rock." A Sedimentation of the Mind. Robert Smithson. 1966.<br>
<br>
</i>Through a range of guided, experimental activities, the two
day Earth Coding workshop actively explores links between
contemporary technology and the earth, attempting to define a new
form of land art and examining the following wide-ranging
questions.<br>
<br>
How can the earth as a process be tempted to compose software?<br>
<br>
What signals can be transduced from the earth, using equipment of
the earth, revealing hidden process and how can these signals be
exposed and converted to brute code?<br>
<br>
Finally, how can a dark interpreter, a shadow substrate be
constructed as an experimental situation, enabling earthy
instructions to recode that same landscape?<br>
<br>
The two day earth coding workshop embraces whole earth process in
an attempt to approach these questions through the construction of
a series of experimental situations. <br>
<br>
Participants will learn how to:<br>
<br>
- measure and make audible and visible Telluric currents flowing
through the earth<br>
- construct an earth sensing glove to insert and feedback audio
signals from the earth<br>
- build an earth antenna/radio<br>
- measure electrical power from an earth battery<br>
- allow worms to compose poetry<br>
- fashion fluid logic gates in the earth<br>
<br>
On the second day there will be a field trip to a forest location
near Paris, where we will extend the first days experiments and
discuss the implications and possibilities of earth coding.<br>
