Over the course of 22 hours during Radio Art Zone, we will share our processes of making and listening. Listeners will be able to tune into Shortwave Collective engaged in collective and solitary listening experiences as we search for radio reception through Open Wave-Receivers and other devices such as VHF and VLF receivers, software-defined radio, walkie-talkies, and electromagnetic detectors from the locations in which we live and work.
At various times, and especially during ‘grey-line’ times of dusk and dawn, we will gather to transmit live from our listening posts in Graz, Austria; Mount Alaric, France; Crete, Greece; Berlin, Germany; London and Brighton, United Kingdom and Northern California, United States. The broadcast will be situated within the height of the 2022 Perseids meteor shower, as a way to reference the fleeting nature of radio phenomena and atmospheric conditions.
