With a tide of change sweeping the globe and the socio-political landscape increasingly subject to crisis and change, automation, algorithms and AI are playing an influential role within this paradigm.
So who are we to trust? This panel of artists and technologists explores the complex anthropomorphic relationships we have with gadgets and robots and how this shapes our world view. The panel will include Kirsty Hassard, Jan de Coster, Professor Ruth Aylett and Julien Ottavi.
About the Panel
Kirsty Hassard is curator of the Hello, Robot. exhibition at V&A Dundee, which investigates how robots are helping to shape the world we live in, showing how design is a mediator in this relationship between human and machine. A relative newcomer to the world of robotics, she was previously assistant curator of Furniture, Textiles and Fashion at the Victoria and Albert Museum and was assistant curator on the Balenciaga: Shaping Fashion exhibition. She has an MA in History and a MLitt in Dress and Textile Histories from the University of Glasgow. She has lectured and published on the relationship between print culture and fashion in eighteenth century London and Paris.
Jan De Coster grew up with a vivid fascination for physics, science fiction stories and hacking stuff. In college he realized that all the stories around science were often far more appealing than the theory behind them, and in the mid 90’s he started on his first multimedia productions.
In 2007, Jan founded Slightly Overdone Robots, a production studio which explores the horizons of Human-Robot interaction, where he has been making interactive installations and Robots ever since.
On his quest to make Robots a more widely accepted creative medium, Jan is now teaching young and old about building Robots, focusing on the design and the process, and the way they make us feel.
In the late 90’s Jan De Coster started making interactive projects and physical installations, with a strong focus on storytelling.
Jan has a background in physics and engineering and worked at different Advertising agencies at the beginning of his career. In recent years, he started teaching and giving workshops and lectures about innovation, creativity and especially robots. These workshops have brought him to visit and engage with creative communities from Qatar to Mexico. His robots have been travelling the world as a part of different exhibitions and his social robots explore the meaning of human-robot interaction.
Prof Ruth Aylett – Ruth is Professor of Computer Sciences in the School of Maths and Computer Science at Heriot-Watt University. She researches Affective Systems, Social Agents in both graphical and robotic embodiments, and Human-Robot Interaction, as well as Interactive Narrative. She led three EU projects (VICTEC, eCIRCUS and eCUTE) in the period 2001-2012 applying empathic graphical characters to education against bullying (FearNot!) and in cultural sensitive (ORIENT, Traveller, MIXER). She also worked as a PI in the projects LIREC (investigating long-lived robot companions) and EMOTE (an empathic robot tutor). She led the EPSRC-funded network of excellence in interactive narrative, RIDERS. She is currently PI of the project SoCoRo (Socially Competent Robots) which is investigating the use of a mobile robot to train high-functioning adults with an Autism Spectrum Disorder in social interaction. She has authored more then 250 referred publications in conferences, journals and book chapters, and has been an invited speaker at various events, most recently AAMAS 2016.
Julien Ottavi – Doctor in Arts, Composer, Artist, Curator. A mediactivist, artist-researcher, composer / musician, poet and tongues destroyer, experimental filmmaker and an architect, founder and member of Apo33, Julien Ottavi is involved in research and creative work, combining sound art, real-time video, new technologies and body performances. Since 1997, he develops a composition work using voice and its transformation through computer. Active developer of audio/visual programs with Puredata, he has also developed since many years DIY electronics (radio transmitters, oscillators, mixers, amplifiers, video transmitters…etc) in the perspective of knowledge sharing on technological development. Main developer for the Gnu/Linux operating system APODIO for digital art and A/V & streaming diffusion. His practices is not limited to the art spheres but crosses different fields from technological development to philosophy / theoretical research, biomimetic analysis, robotics and experimentation. For many years he reflects on the relations between experimental practices and collective practices within the creation of autonomous collective groups, putting in question the authorship strategy of the “art ideology.”

The BUC (Block Up-Converter) is part of the transmit chain of your VSAT. It is often located on the feed horn, but if it is a large BUC, it may be located at the base of the antenna and connected with RF conduits (waveguides). The BUC converts the modem's L-Band transmit signal into higher frequency C-Band signals, then amplifies it before it is reflected off the satellite antenna towards the satellite. In order to perform both of its functions, the BUC is composed of two individual components: the Local Oscillator and the Power Amplifier. The Local Oscillator performs the frequency conversion between the L-Band and the satellite frequency, such as C-Band. The resulting satellite frequency is calculated by adding the L-Band frequency to a number known as the Local Oscillator Frequency that will be stamped onto the BUC. A Local Oscillator Frequency of 4900 MHz is used for a non inverted spectrum, and a Local Oscillator Frequency of 7375 MHz is used for an inverted spectrum. A typical system will require a 2-watt BUC or higher, depending on the application. Although BUCs are available with very powerful amplifiers, it is unlikely that a VSAT installation will require more than 10W, even in less than ideal circumstances. SkyVision will provide you with the specific power requirements for your service.
SMS303 Tantek Tanrak (9 module Modular FX):
- Comp-Lim2
- Parametric Equaliser
- Enhancer
- Modulation Oscillator
Info:
Mid 1980's Tantek, Tanrak Studio Effects Rack which was available in kit form or ready built. These were bought as kits and put together by an electronics engineer. On the face of it, they're simple analogue effects - a bit old-fashioned, really - but that's the charm of them. They've perfectly useable and immediately accessible, so you'll have great fun fiddling with the settings - try sweeping the EQ frequency, or riding the delay time for on-the-fly munchkinisation, for instance.
Even better, you'll find new ways to patch the modules together. Everything - in, out and sidechain - is accessible from the rear panel (there's a default path from left to right across the rack if you don't want to use patch cords) so you can create LFO-modulated delay effects, frequency-sensitive compression ... you think of it, you can do it.
STEREO COMPRESSOR/LIMITER - A high quality stereo comp/limiter with variable input, slope, attack and release controls, and a switched 'key' input that can link both channels...handy for de-essing, ducking etc. It's pretty much 'invisible' when used as a limiter, only squeezing when the threshold is crossed (depending on the ratio setting). Great for laying vocal tracks, mix thickening, fattening up drums, percussions and bass. In fact, it can make anything sound 'phat' but still retains that important top-end clarity.
MODULATION OSCILLATOR - A CV modulation source whose features include sinewave output, variable duty cycle, key or CV controlled depth, triggerable sweeps and two independently variable outputs. Used with the muli-dealy to create chorus, flanging etc.
Testing the 1MHz "phase2" clock for the SID chip (6581), using the HP LogicDART. I've used a 16MHz clock oscillator module that I happened to have (desoldered from some long-forgotten PCB) and divided it down with a 74HC393 chip. The LogicDART is a hand-held three channel logic analyser with additional modes for voltage and frequency measurement, and for continuity and diode testing.

Presenter: Michael Bernard, Senior Regional Instructor, Midwest Region at TD Ameritrade. The options workshop (1.5 hours) was pretty basic: buying calls, buying puts, covered calls writing, cash secured puts, LEAPS... It was followed by "Market trading tactics" Workshop (2.5 hours), covering: Moving Averages, Oscillators, MACD, RSI, DMI, Stochastics, Volume, Short Selling. And of course, TD Ameritrade's trading tools. Customers attending the workshop will get 5 free trades. Yay!
Developing a variation of the Atari Punk Console with added Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) to give a vibrato effect.
Made using just CMOS digital logic ICs (no op amps).
The 1st panel includes 5 oscillators (1 high, 2 mid, 2 low) using two 4069 ICs.
The 2nd panel includes 2 frequency dividers using the 4040 and 4020 ICs.
The 3rd panel includes a bunch of logic gates using 2 4019 ICs. Also, there is a 3 input resistor mixer and 3 input diode mixer.
The 4th panel includes 2 filters using 2 inverter gates from the 4069 IC in panel one. There is also a passive mixer with volume control and an output jack.
'Oscillator Bank', 'Waveform': mad-scientist lingo for unsuspecting musicians back in 1970.
Designed by Robert Moog in 1970, the Minimoog Model D synthesizer is still regarded as the Rolls Royce equivalent for analog keyboard-based synthesizers. Specifically designed for touring musicians, the minimoog exported electronic music experiments from university labs out to the masses - and her deep farting bass-sounds (think of Kraftwerk's Autobahn), lead and space bleeps and sweeps have become HUGELY popular over the last 38 years.
There were originally 13,000 minimoogs produced between 1970 and 1981. After a brief hiatus during the digital-synth craze in the 1980s, the minimoog enjoyed a resurgence of interest among musicians since the 1990s...and yes, it's becoming harder to get a hold on one.
I obtained this Mini from a studio garage sale back in 1989 for US$ 150 (in prime condition - save the crackling external input knob). After lying dormant for 7 years now, it's time to bring life back into this 1973 model D mini. Tropical humidity heavily damaged the furnishing. It needs re-tuning of the oscillators, cleaning of the electronic board, new switches for filter modulation, and thinking about a new base panel.

A little steam engine made from plumber's pipe, car brake pipe and scrap brass/steel.
It spins round really fast with a little meths burner going under the boiler.
It is bolted to an old meccano base.
Underside, showing modifications needed to lower the oscillator frequency range down to 10.140.000 - 10.140.100 MHz. As originally constructed, I couldn't get it below about 10.140.220 MHz.
I saw the original MPC on matrixsynth, complete with a link to its circuit diagrams. The noise source for cymbals is notoriously tricky to get right so I was interested to note that the MPC had a variation on the source found in the Roland TR-808. The MPC takes it further by adding a clever tweak to adjust the tuning by varying the supply voltage to the bank of oscillators.
So I made one. It sounds great!
I remember Laetitia Sadier introducing "Faust Pop" with the line "This is not Neu".
These may well be the oddest things I've moved around the world with me.
List below, with my best guesses as to better-known titles of these songs.

Unfortunately, compensation cannot cover broken plastic parts which are irreplaceable. Luckily, the broken pieces had fallen inside the cabinet. The HMV VA was the last generation of large screen monochrome TV sets designed and made in Australia. This one is ca. 1973. It uses valves for deflection and audio output. The rest is solid state. Valves are: 6CM5 line output, 6AL3 damper, 6JW8 line oscillator, and 6BQ5 audio output.

In 1054 AD a supernova erupted in the constellation Taurus. That is the source of the nebula. The explosion of the massive star left behind the star's core still with a mass of about two Suns. It was compressed so hard that electrons and protons were forced together turning it into a giant neutron, about 10 km in diameter.
Because of the conservation of angular momentum the pulsar is spinning nearly 30 times per second. Jets of light and material pour out of its poles. Since one pole is aimed near us we see the jet flash about 30 times per second.
Some friends and I attached a speaker to a 14" telescope and drove it with a signal generator at nearly 30 Hz. This caused the stars to bounce back and forth. Over the exposure time of 30 seconds per frame the stars appeared as streaks. The pulsar, however, appeared stationary during each exposure. Since our oscillator wasn't exactly tuned to the pulsar's frequency, each frame shows the pulsar in a different spot in its path. Putting these together into a movie shows the pulsar appearing to bounce up and down.
1. Product Overview :
SK6805-2427 is a smart LED control circuit and light emitting circuit in one controlled LED source,
which has the shape of a 5050 LED chip. Each lighting element is a pixel, and the intensities of the
pixels are contained within the intelligent digital interface input. The output is driven by patented
PWM technology, which effectively guarantees high consistency of the color of the pixels. The
control circuit consists of a signal shaping amplification circuit, a built-in constant current circuit,
and a high precision RC oscillator.
The ramé-hart Oscillator (p/n 100-28) provides precisely controlled periodic oscillatory deformation of sessile and pendant bubbles and drops in order to allow for the measurement of surface dilatational elasticity and viscosity using the axisymmetric drop and bubble shape method. Designed to sit inline between the Automated Dispensing System and the final dispensing tip or needle, the Oscillator is motor-driven and fully software controlled using ramé-hart DROPimage v2.4 or higher software. The Oscillator requires an Automated Dispensing System and current-generation Model 250, 290, 500, or 590 or a legacy system that has been sufficiently upgraded. DROPimage Advanced includes a methods editor which incorporates an array of parameters for controlling the frequency, acceleration, timing and steps of the oscillation commands. This product includes (1) one year parts and labor warranty.
The oscillator will be completely rebuilt into a 6AG7 oscillator/multiplier with selectable vfo or xtal control and tuned output.
Top right: PA coil ceramic socket, next down from that is the KT-66 ceramic socket, then oscillator tube (will be 6AG7) ceramic socket. Most of the previous (6L6) oscillator wiring has been removed, and some of the new wiring and components have been placed. The bottom ceramic socket is for the 83 rectifier tube.

PS-It is a well known fact that disc capacitors keep better in a Gefilte Fish jar than in their original packaging.
Kriesler 79-1. Kriesler's first 21" chassis.
Ca. 1957-58. An excellent performer, but it's a big job replacing all the paper and mica condensers and the high resistors.
This set has been modified to eliminate the vertical blocking oscillator transformer - a weak part of the design.

When you need a pair of 56kΩ resistors, but all you have in the junkbox are high-stability, 2% carbon-composition types from the early 1960s. Which have been desoldered and have short, fat leads. Had to solder on some LED clippings to make them fit the solderless breadboard.
The circuit is a twin-T oscillator that doesn't quite have enough gain to keep oscillating.
The massive lasers powering the National Ignition Facility all derive from a single laser the size of an index finger, inside the master oscillator room. A series of extremely precise mirrors and giant flash lamps amplifies that single laser by a factor of more than a quadrillion. It's the difference between a hand clap and a magnitude-8 earthquake.
