In this interactive field of works, installed in an open air warehouse, sculptures sense, send, and receive messages that are contingent on the participation of both a seen and unseen audience. Turn the antennae to tune to channels pulsing through space, like an instrument of sonic navigation. Spin the satellite dish and dancer will carve sounds into the metal, picked up through a contact mic, and transmitted over the radio. The processes of translation, loss, degradation, and transmission are activated by the participant, both present and at a distance.
Producing a broadcast for an unseen and unknown audience draws in people and sites, at a distance. Over the course of this show musicians and friends contributed with instruments, voice, poetry, and speech––putting their voices ‘on air’, whether there was one listener or a thousand forever unknown.
