"From the Air" ether powered sound installation

  
The waves that people transmit through the air – for radio transmissions, mobile communications, walkie-talkies and even simply through power supplies to run household appliances – are pure energy, in the literal meaning of the word. This electricity is not sensible in the air, but it can be collected from the environment by relatively simple detecting radio electronic ICs and antennas and then reused – turned into sound (by day) and light (by night). The stronger the energy field in the air, the louder and more frequent are the beeps, likewise the more frequently and brightly the LEDs flash. The installation thus directly mirrors the surrounding “air transmission voltage” and the changes in it. Just as grass condenses dew, causing water to circulate in nature, this artificial antenna array makes the intensity of anthropogenically emitted waves audible

and visible across the broadest range possible, using them as the sole source of energy for its functioning.

"From the Air" 

Voices of dead poets, WiFi and GSM networks, radio messages transmitted by the radio enthusiasts worldwide and radio communication of various services, commercial and public broadcasting, alfa/beta radiation and electromagnetic field measurements, infrasound and fluctuations in the electrical grid of the city – as sound source for conceptual sound performance.

Each object of the exhibition distinctively indicates the boundaries that a person must take into account in the direct exploration of objective reality. The exhibition is permeated by a motif of restrictions, i.e. learning to accept these restrictions – and it’s even better if one uses them. All of the series’ works address the very basic elements of sound – frequency and amplitude – as the artistic embodiment of the mechanical nature of waves is actualised.
