50 Million Tonnes

50 million tonnes stage show

With 50 millions tonnes of electronic waste produced every year why do we need to buy anything? We just need to know how to hack waste into something fun! We will break open some of those magical consumer electronic treasures and find out what’s going on inside. How can we have power over our technology, instead of being enslaved by it? In this show Steve Summers demonstrates a selection of upcycled Noisy Toys built from e-waste, we learn about what is inside some everyday electronic items, where some of the materials come from and where they go to when the thing breaks.
Some weighty topics around the human and environmental consequences of disposable electronics, as well as a dash of electromagnetism, but the style is fun and entertaining, with a focus on what we can do to help, and how we can learn and gain empowerment.Let’s pop the glowing balloon, de-flash the trainer and organ-harvest the fun bits from a computer for re-animation.
Warning: Live dissection of electronic products without anaesthetic…

Show timings and details for booking tickets will be released here soon.

Making ‘Crushed Glass’ oscillators, I got noise out of it after spending most of the day putting it together. Dismembered an old landline handset to get the capacitors I needed in the end @NoisyToysOrg supplied much of the rest...@FreqCentral the design in an ancient forum post
