PANTs Workshop
The PANTs DIY Electronics Workshop has completed! Workshop participants worked all day to successfully build individual Portable Art Noise Things (PANTs) which each consisted of a contact mic wired to speakers, and then all packed together in customized containers.
Thanks to the workshop leaders Lalya Gaye, Tobias Good, and David McCallum for their expertise and organization. Participants to the workshop were Magnus Johannson, Sue Huang, Svante Hermansson, Johan Sandsjö, Nanushka Yeaman, Sara Eggert, Anna Nordström, Jon, Hanna Källs, Margot Jacobs, and Hampus Pettersson with an additional number of visitors from the local art schools and new media arts community coming to observe and hang out.
Full documentation including PANTs specs coming on a workshop website soon!

Call for Attack of the PANTs Workshop
A DIY electronics workshop led by Lalya Gaye, Tobias "Speaker Dude" Good, and David McCallum, to make Portable Art Noise Things (PANTs). the PANTs are a contact mic connected to a self-powered speaker, allowing you to carry them anywhere and amplify the most annoying of small sounds for the benefit of the public. The speakers are made out of you favourite lunch box, cardboard boxes or whatever you would like to use.
Date: Sunday, February 20th
Cost: 100 kr (this is purely for materials)
Location: Big Love gallery, Tunnbindaregatan 21 (Kvilletorget)
No previous electronics experience required, we'll show you how to do it all!
The motivation behind this workshop is to create devices that can be
used in the HUGs jams that happen at big love every now and again.
Picture the gallery full of ten of these little monsters, it almost
makes me salivate just thinking about it...
The deadline for applying is Tuesday, February 15th. E-mail david mcdallum at d@mentalfloss.ca to express your unshakable commitment to our cause. No need to give us the money early, bring it to the workshop. Please do not cancel after the deadline as we will already have spent the 100 kr you said you would pay and will thus be 100 kr poorer, and we don't like poverty (ie. if you cancel, we are expecting you to still pay).
