DIY E-waste Synthesizer

DIY E-waste Synthesizer aimed to make an analog synthesizer with electronic garbage. Led by researcher, artist and performer Mina Kim, participants joined in exploring and recontextualising the debris from our digital society and its relationship to the environment.

The workshop requires no prior knowledge or skills, but participants will be required to bring e-waste. This can consist of any old or broken electronic devices such as laptops, phones, remote control devices etc.
