Tetsuo Kogawa is an artist that works with Radio and electronic Arts. On his website [http://anarchy.translocal/ http://anarchy.translocal.] jp is possible to find schematics on how to build a simple FM Transmitter using a copper plate circuit.

After having the pure sound of each color, we mixed it with Audacity (sound mixing software) to see if we could create new images compositions through the color’s sounds.

The results were not very exciting visually because the software makes one sound for a line, so the only kind of composition possible was one line each color.

With this new mixed sound, we’ve made a radio trans- mission to be received by a SSTV decoder. The result was a mixture of both photos into one image.

88

ABOUT

Radio is often only seen as a medium to transmit music and information through audio to people.

The question that arose was how can we use radio to transmit something beyond sound? This collection investigates a broad range of aesthetic experiments with the broadcasting technology of radio. For us it

is also an inquiry of intervention of this art form. This collection aims to rethink and reconceptualise the radio medium as an explorative aesthetical archive.

The goal of 88,4 DX is to create a temporary autonomous zone of art to communicate artistic compositions for interpretation. Proposing an alternate way to experiencing visual art through the radio.

88,4 is a project made by Nina Michailidou & Caio Vita

SOUND STATION

The radio station 88.4 FM is constantly broadcasting the artwork we have created with the SSTV and FM Transmit- ter. We recorded the SSTV sounds of each one of the images, and made a long play with all of the sounds, so people can tune in the 88,4 FM and start receiving the images through a SSTV software. Also, it’s possible to apply effects to the broadcast image by a live sound effect app running on the smartphone that is being used as the sound source. This live effects will change the way the image is broadcast each time, it's possible to mix images, change patterns and create new compositions by playing with the APP.
