for live streams, 5 radio detectors and effekt processors

5 spacially placed detector radios receive various signals from radio waves and transmissions produced on site. These, together with the live streams, are used as material for this improvisation.

German Imperial telegraph bill, around 1924: "... According to this, telegraphy is the transmission of thoughts over a distance in which the thought expressed at the place of transmission is made sensually perceivable at the place of reception without having to transmit a document."
(quote from: "Das Radiobuch / The radio book" by Hanns Günther, Francks Technischer Verlag, Dieck u. Co., Stuttgart 1924, p. 9)

"Radioart is about data processed by concepts of artists involved in telecommunication art."
Johannes Siehnknecht, Kunstradio seminar, around 1999.
