Natural Radio Workshop led by Ong Kian Peng
Dublin Core
Title
Description
This workshop will introduce participants to natural radio. Natural radio is the emission of Very Low Frequency (VLF) and Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) radio waves due to electromagnetic energy from natural phenomena. These emissions originate terrestrially from lightning and from the Sun’s interactions with the Earth’s magnetosphere, they are among the inaudible voices of the environment. If the low frequencies of these electromagnetic outbursts are transformed into acoustic waves, many of these signals may fall within the range of human hearing. Experiencing electromagnetic waves as acoustic waves will allow listeners to connect with the beauty and complexity of natural radio waves in a unique aural experience.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to assemble an analogue handheld radio device that tunes in to natural radio frequencies.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own headphones with a 3.5mm audio jack, along with an optional audio recorder to capture and share their auditory discoveries.
This workshop is part of the Empirical Workshop Series of Communities of Practice. Techno Diversions.
This workshop is suitable for age 18 and above.
No prior knowledge of electronics is required.
