What do radio waves look like? Or, perhaps, what do you think they look like? Buzzing, concentric circles radiating outwards from a tower? Or maybe wavy lines undulating along the great expanse, hidden from the human visual range? The fact is they’re invisible, so we can’t see them without the aid of some kind of apparatus, and if light-painted visualizations of WiFi networks are any indication, they’re likely a sight to behold.

Week 3

Workshop 2

For workshop 2 we got the assignment to work with someone else's project. We got the project to translate "sound" to water waves. We built a box where you could put in a "cap" of water and the vibration of the water will be shown in this cap. We also tried to use very light fabric to create this vibration but this didn't work so we came with the solution to use a small cap because a big capacity of water didn't work with the capacity of the speakers. We experimented with music and with calling someone and using emotions in our voices.

Imaginary Radio

I worked with Jerry Estié on this assignment. We started out discussing radio and really wanted to something with transferring information in another way. For inspiration we decided to look into the past instead of into the future and looked up a database of sci-fi devices in books from the 40s to the 70s. We used the site Technovelgy for this. We found a project that was talking about which was about animated symbols to help those who haven't bothered to learn to read in a multimedia age. (From The Diamond Age, by Neal Stephenson. Published by Bantam Books in 1995). The word "mediaglyphic" just means a glyph (a symbol that imparts information nonverbally) created or seen in commercial media. The root word for media means middle; the media stands between us and the events or things it covers. We decided to take this what once was a sciencefiction project to this new era. Now a days when you scroll to facebook, newspapers, newspapers on the web, we mainly look at images and small headlines, so we don't have to read too much. When I scroll to facebook I don't read anything anymore I just scroll and see pictures with a small text. So we want to critical look at this aspect and use gifs as news headlines. We started out with The New York times and decided to try to do an whole article. In the screenshot below you can see it's divided in colors, everytime a new sentence starts the color will change. Headlines are of course bigger than normal text. Below you can see the website with working gifs.

International Workshop

An intense fun day with the MICA students. Our group was Post-Radio aesthetics, we started out exchanging ideas with each other and tried to make it a whole concept. We were thinking about how we can't experience radio waves, so we started discussing how could we make these radio waves tactile without losing it's visual experience. Because our bodies cannot experience radio waves, how can we create a tactile, analog way to bridge that gap? We used a number of techniques to accomplish this goal. Through the use of a hand built radio receiver, we recorded a sound made it into an image in Photoshop. We converted this image into a bitmap and abstracted the bitmap in six different images of the radio waves. We engraver these six different iterations on fabric and created them on a knitting machine.
