The ether is free
A People of Oscillators
Digital + Essay + Micro-FM Transmitter Kit
Ref. No. (2024)
Fictive radioscapes that recall shortwave dérives and the sound of the ionosphere doing its own thing. Peopled by chirps and chatter, radio ‘static’ reveals an electromagnetic wilderness, traversed by spectral voices, stray ciphers and peeling heterodyne tones. Early radio ops projected themselves into an ’etheric ocean’ that had always existed, never knowing quite what they’d tangle with, or become, along the way. Late-radio is over-allocated and underpopulated, encroached and enclosed by binary platforms. A people of oscillators turns off its phone, turns back to the wilderness and imagines an etheric commons waiting to be recovered.
Released as a build-it-yourself FM radio transmitter kit, including custom printed circuit board, electronic components, assembly instructions, essay, and a digital download code, all enclosed in a laser-engraved tin.
