What you'll do

Learn how to safely dismantle electronic devices and make amazing artist books with the components inside. This relaxing beginner-friendly workshop will transform and reveal the hidden world of intricate circuitry that powers our daily lives and inspire you to think about the impact of technology.

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn:

how to dismantle safely old electronic devices
some facts about our electronic devices
create your own artist book to take home on the day!

I offer an active reflection on the production process of electronic devices, planned obsolescence, disparity of goods, sustainability, and recycling. Every component in devices has minerals that have taken millions of years to form that have been mined. 3 in 10 people globally do NOT have electricity, many of them work in those mines.

No experience is necessary. You will be guided step by step and will give you plenty of tips and tricks.

Great for individuals and couples as well as for a date idea, team-building activity, or hens party.

Suitable for adults and kids (minimum 8 years old). An adult must accompany any attending kids and must pay for a separate ticket. This experience would also be a unique gift for her, gift for mum, gift for dad, or gift for couples.

Women-owned

I am a multidisciplinary artist. Last January, I made an installation 'e-Galaxy' at the State Library of Queensland in the Knowledge Walk, during the Holidays Fun Program. Adults and children from aged 8+ participated in activations and workshops.

I was born in Brussels, Belgium, travelled a lot with my work, and arrived in Australia in 1996. (I have a strong French accent!) I have been awarded the 3-year Australia Council for the Arts Fellowship, a Copeland Fellowship at the Five Colleges in Massachusetts, a Fellowship at the Australian Choreographic Centre, and an Asialink Residency in India.

In 2019, I was undertaking a major decluttering of my studio, and started opening up and stripping down my own old devices. I became intrigued by the exquisite electronics hidden inside phones, hard drives and other obsolete hardware, and was inspired to use the components as artistic materials.

Since then, I volunteer e-Waste Connection (a social recycling entreprise), make imaginative original jewellery and wearable designs, artist books, videos and performance, giving new life to old devices that have been ethically collected from local sources. By transforming these components, I invite consideration of ethical and environmental issues, divert material from landfills and transform trash into treasure.
