ELECTRONICOS FANTASTICOS! Electromagnetic Generator Parade
Led by the artist Wada Ei, ELECTRONICOS FANTASTICOS! is initiative brings together various collaborators to resurrect disused electrical appliances as new “electromagnetic instruments” and gradually form an orchestra.
The participatory project involves a wide range of people coming together to make a festival float powered by renewable energy and a new musical instrument made from modifying old appliances. The participants will parade as a special “electromagnetic music troupe,” conjuring up a very strange yet also very contemporary kind of festival.
Currently in preparation, the Electromagnetic Generator Parade will be presented in full in March 2024. At CCBT, ELECTRONICOS FANTASTICOS! will hold regular open studio days so visitors can experience the creation process.
Along with viewing Wada Ei and the other members’ wild ideas, inventions, and creativity take shape, members of the public can join the project and take part in it.
Music lovers. Festival fans. Crafts and maker culture devotees. Electronics, electric waves, electrons, and electromagnetics enthusiasts. Players, engineers, designers, managers. All and sundry are welcome!
