Play and build with disobedience through workshops and performances on transmission. Think sonic liberation.

Our second night of What Is: noncompliance is split into two parts.

1. THE WORKSHOP at 6 PM: Intro to DIY Radio. Facilitated by Auto Feeder, this workshop introduces the fascinating world of radio beyond traditional broadcasting, from radio art to numbers stations to pirate transmissions and off-grid mesh networks. Build your own mini FM transmitter and take it home. The session ends with a live performance, where attendees will use their transmitters to contribute to an experimental sound composition, temporarily occupying the airwaves as a shared and contested space.

2. THE PERFORMANCE at 8 PM: Auto Feeder and workshop participants perform their transmissions live, followed by a performance from underground worldwide techno legend and transdisciplinary artist Rrose which closes with a genre-twisting set based on work by James Tenney.

3. THE ACTIVATION: Parkdale Pirate Radio will be taking over the waves from 9-11PM for a special edition of DISCO 3000. For those living in Parkdale/High Park, tune in to 87.5FM. For those outside of the area, check in to the online stream on Wave Farm Radio. This will not be archived!

This is a low capacity workshop, tickets buyers are encouraged to not wait.

Participants do not require any preexisting skills.

Workshop participants are invited to perform as artists with Auto Feeder immediately following the workshop with the device they create.

Workshop tickets include access to the full night, and participants are invited to perform as artists with Auto Feeder.

*By participating in the workshop, you are signing on as an artistic partner. You should ideally feel comfortable joining the performances.
