Synthesize_Her presents: TRANSMIT > Workshop > DIY Mesh Network Communication Device
> Over four hours, participants will learn to build their own mesh network communication device, gaining practical skills in electronics and an introduction to decentralised communication infrastructures.
> Facilitated and co-created by Synthesize_Her collaborators the workshop explores how devices can communicate directly with one another, without relying on conventional, centralised networks. Through hands-on making, listening and experimentation, participants will be introduced to mesh networking, radio communication and the possibilities of DIY technologies as alternative ways of connecting and sharing information.
> No previous experience is required. All electronics and materials will be provided.
> Commissioned by Beta Festival.
Creator Bio:
Synthesize_Her is an feminist sound technology organisation founded in 2022 to promote education for FLINTA (female, lesbian, intersex, trans, agender) people in sound production and electronics.
As an organisation, we see the body as a site to access, blend and merge with technology, to transcend gender and species. We come with questions, embrace risk, we believe learning is iterative, peer-to-peer, non-linear.
Collaborators include: Viva Ferguson, Alix Craig, Alba Molina, Róisín Berg

Over 4 hours, participants learn to build their own mesh network communication device, gaining fundamental skills in electronics, listening and de-centralised infrastructure.
Working together with Synthesize_Her facilitators Alba Molina and Viva Dean, the workshop explores how devices can communicate directly with one another outside conventional, centralised networks. Through making, listening and experimentation, participants will get an introduction to the possibilities of DIY communication technologies and alternative ways of thinking about how we connect.
No previous experience required and electronics provided.
Commissioned by Beta Festival.
