Landscape and Oscillations
One in a series of visual and sound installations the merge analog radio and line drawing.
The representational element, a radio satellite in New Mexico's post-atomic landscape, is used to explore the interpolation of the aural, mnemonic, psychosocial and geographic. The project demonstrates how distinct spatial orientations, immediate and represented, audio and visual, can alter patterns in the organization of a landscape.
The “drawing as antenna," attached to a radio transmitter, projected a twenty-three minute sound program tuned to local radios on a specific frequency. A variety of popular cultural sound sources, live sound recordings, interviews, and ambient sound recordings were combined as a sound suite.
