Sound installation. The installation consists of 8 shortwave radio receivers, an audio mixer, and speakers. The radio receivers are each tuned to a station with the best reception. This changes during the day/week/year due to different factors: o Time of day. During the day, higher shortwave frequencies (> 10 MHz) can travel longer distances than lower; at night, this property is reversed. o Solar conditions, including the number of sunspots, solar flares, and overall solar activity. Solar flares can prevent the ionosphere from reflecting or refracting radio waves. o The amount of atmospheric noise. |
The installation was made at gallery Titanik, Turku; Finland, 2004 |
