BENJAMIN GOLDSTONE led a Workshop on Circuit Bending for the New Media Roadtrip, a program of the Department of Cinema & Media Studies at Carleton College in the fall of 2006.

        Ben  knows a good deal about electronics, and he brought along some circuit diagrams and roughed-out circuit boards for us. Still, we needed a little help.

              Within thirty minutes our workshop sounded like an orchestra tuning up – an orchestra of anarchists, that is. Occasionally circuit bending seemed rather like circus bending. There's probably no better way to train your Dada ear.
