The Loud Objects (Tristan Perich, Kunal Gupta, Katie Shima), a performance trio from New York, work with low-level electronics. Their performances start with punctuated silence as they begin to solder together microprocessors on an overhead projector, exploding into noise when the initial circuit is assembled and new chips are added and rewired. Their entire toolset consists of soldering irons, power and audio jacks, and a handful of Atmel microprocessors, pre-programmed in C via USB from a laptop using tuxgraphics' AVR programmer.
