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 im- ages, 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.
