DEEP WIRELESS INSTALLATIONS:
May 2-27@ Gallery 1313, Process Gallery
1313 Queen Street West, Toronto
Radio Roam by Eleanor King & Stephen Kelly
Radio Art Salon curated by Darren Copeland

Recline in an alternate sounding universe in 50's style hair salon
chairs transformed into radio art listening lounges. Running for the
entire month of May, the Radio Art Salon includes a program of radio
art works curated by Darren Copeland that includes contributions from
Resonance FM in the UK, from Kunstradio in Austria (sponsored by
the Austria Cultural Forum) and content drawn from the Deep Wireless
international call for submissions on the theme of Trans-X.

Radio Roam is a radio transmission installation work. It uses many
radios installed in the gallery space, each tuned to a different
frequency on the FM dial. A variable transmitter sends out an audio
signal and automatically changes the broadcasting frequency based on
motion activity within the space. The audio signal "jumps" from
one radio to another, creating a surround sound experience for the
gallery visitor. It is intended that the transmitted audio blend with
the bleed from other high power FM stations, to create an ever changing
collage of radio sounds, in real time.
