Coding Dissent: Art, Technology, and Tactical Media (en)

Helena Nikonole

This presentation examines artistic practices that engage with sociotechnical systems through tactical interventions. The talk proposes art as a form of infrastructural critique and counter-technology. It also introduces a forthcoming HackLab designed to foster collaborative development of open-source tools addressing digital authoritarianism, surveillance capitalism, propaganda infrastructures, and ideological warfare.

From Silicon to Darude Sand-storm: breaking famous synthesizer DSPs (en)

giulioz

Have you ever wondered how the chips and algorithms that made all those electronic music hits work? Us too! At The Usual Suspects we create open source emulations of famous music hardware, synthesizers and effect units. After releasing some emulations of devices around the Motorola 563xx DSP chip, we made further steps into reverse engineering custom silicon chips to achieve what no one has done before: a real low-level emulation of the JP-8000. This famous synthesizer featured a special "SuperSaw" oscillator algorithm, which defined an entire generation of electronic and trance music. The main obstacle was emulating the 4 custom DSP chips the device used, which ran software written with a completely undocumented instruction set. In this talk I will go through the story of how we overcame that obstacle, using a mixture of automated silicon reverse engineering, probing the chip with an Arduino, statistical analysis of the opcodes and fuzzing. Finally, I will talk about how we made the emulator run in real-time using JIT, and what we found by looking at the SuperSaw code.

Analog to Algorithm: RSS Disco’s Underground Journey (en)

RSS Disco

From crackling Kraut and Disco records to hyper produced Techno tracks - dance music has come a long way in the last six decades, and was always strongly influenced by evolving technology. Dance music’s history is a feedback system between culture and circuitry. Each new invention—from the disco subwoofer to today’s neural-driven mastering tools—reshapes sound itself. RSS Disco’s timeline approach celebrates this continuum: a story of machines learning to groove, and humans learning to listen differently through them.

Steve

Als Part der ToxicFamily, die seit mittlerweile 25 Jahren Label, elektronisches Magazin, Veranstalter und einfach eine Institution in Frankfurt ist, fördert Steve, der übrigens einer der dienstältesten Residents des Tanzhaus West in Frankfurt ist, aktiv die Frankfurter Underground Clubszene und vor allem den Nachwuchs. Ob es ein Gig bei der Toxic Family Radio Show im lokalen FM Radio ist, ein CDJ Lehrgang oder einfach nur aufmunterte Worte während eines Sets - viele Frankfurter DJs haben eine Geschichte über Steve zu erzählen. Wenn Steve House Musik spielt, sieht man oft DJ Kollegen mit gespitzen Ohren an der Bar stehen - oder auch mal mitten auf der Tanzfläche - weil das Barpersonal selbst auf der Theke tanzt.

Afidissima & Alice (de)

Afidissima & Alice

Afidissima and Alice, two millennial stereotypes sharing music tips as emotional currency. Gabby radio host Afidissima delivers genre-chaotic sets drenched in dubby vibes and oozing with groove. A relentless cratedigger with questionable priorities. Alice unites musical moments and moods that refuse to be united. Seductive, whimsical, followed by familiar paths, so as not to upset the ear and inner balance. Mixed feelings becoming multiple emotions. Everything as usual – just enhanced momentum.

Sharing Means Caring: Most of the music of this series was recorded at a Chaos Event in the last 10 (or more) years. It is time for a new episode: https://soundcloud.com/barbnerdy/sets/mixtape-sharing-means-caring-1

Dj Sloush + Zarrt (de)

Dj Sloush aka Spitz + Zarrt

The berlin based artist duo is working under different alias solo, in duos or collectives since 2011. They are sound artists, DJs, part of Cashmere Radio (Berlin), curators, event organizers, performers and multimedia artists. “Dj Sloush aka Spitz + Zarrt aka Fellmaus will make you happy. There’s gonna be these sounds coming from the speakers, new otherworldly ones mixed with seemingly familiar yet undiscovered natural feeling waves of moods, or maybe hot and twirling rapid fire bass jumping trippin balls ones. Either way they’ll provide you with a guaranteed enjoyment of the infinite kind.”
