This Saturday Short takes a do-it-yourself approach to broadcast media where participants learn to construct their own low-power FM radio transmitters. Artist Brett Ian Balog talks about the legal issues surrounding micro-power broadcasting as well as artistic/activist uses of the medium. Brett Ian Balogh is an artist and an instructor at both the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Illinois Institute of Technology, teaching courses in DIY broadcasting, digital fabrication, and acoustics.

All workshops are open to the public. Registration is required and is available online or by calling 312.397.4010. Space is limited. You must be 18 or older to enroll in MCA adult classes or workshops. Unless noted, all supplies are provided.
