*Recombinant* is a live video recording of an action in an urban setting that was conducted as the conclusion of a study project by students majoring in New Media. The idea behind the project was to collect and readapt old, obsolete hardware. What in another context is considered techno-junk was collected and reprocessed into individual hardware modules. The first step was to check out the various individual projects to determine—in a reinterpretation of the “hardware handshake”—if they could be compatibly hooked up with each other, and then they were analyzed with the aim of establishing what can be generated with the material itself without any further input. The spectrum ranges from sound that can be extracted directly via microphone from various different hardware components (Desktop Hardware Orchestra) to homemade wave LAN antenna modules, and all the way to a compacted computer that can be exhibited in the context of a work of art and thereby newly encoded.
