Abstract

This text explores Circuit Bending as a strategy of technological and sonic intervention that subverts the predefined use of commercial circuits. It focuses on its disruptive potential within sound art and music, addressing its relationship with experimental lutherie, and hardware hacking. Through a conceptual and technical approach, it examines its implications in the re-signification of technological objects, interpretative flexibility, and the decentralization of authorship.


In a context of increasing automation and technological control, circuit modification unlocks new creative possibilities, allowing the emergence of erratic sounds and unpredictable systems that redefine the role of electronic devices in artistic production. Beyond technique, Circuit Bending is situated within an artistic and philosophical exploration, where noise becomes a disruptive agent that opens new possibilities for perception, experimentation, and meaning.
