“PreparedRadios” [2006]

“PreparedRadios”

Outline

Four radios that differ in size and shape emit constantly interrupted sounds. They could be human voices, but we can’t hear what they are saying. By filtering the usual audio signals from the radios, this work manipulates them to block or interrupt their output. It extracts only the sub-linguistic elements of human speech through which feelings not captured by works are conveyed and asks what we can hear. These radios might be said to be devices that reduce the human speaking voice to pure acoustics.
