Upon investigating local circuitry and machinery, the didactic modular panels of the Industrial School of Victoria are imagined to be refurbished and converted together with the students into a series of sound-generating devices. The resulting gizmos will use the basic functionality of each industrial, chemical process as a premise for building specific sound circuitry. The modified modules are to be presented together with the students in a collective sound-noise performance next year.

This industrial high-school lays with its impressive workshops and machinery; there is even an electronic laboratory where students are introduced into control room electronics. Currently, there are a few classes of students left and the laboratories are mostly out of use.

The project proposes to archive, preserving parts of these stagnating laboratory machines, regarding them as precious artefacts from a concluded era. It also wishes to re-contextualise these anachronous technologies, presenting them to the remaining students in a series of workshops so that they can be re-invented.
