Playing with Technology

We live in an electronic world -- turntables, microphones, digital displays, microchips. Some artists are driven by the possibilities of manipulating these things, and in this episode of Spark, we explore the way that they creatively unite art and electronics.

See how Walter Kitundu uses natural elements such as wind, fire and the ocean to power his innovative musical instruments.

Explore how Joe Mangrum juxtaposes natural found objects with pieces of technology in his large and intricate design sculptures.

Visit the classroom with Loren Chasse as he uses audio technology to teach his young students about sound art.

Finally, see what people are really talking with Ben Rubin's Listening Post, which tracks electronic chats on suspended text screens.
