James Ginzburg & Paul Purgas of Emptyset talk about their new project Signal, a radio-based performance that works directly with ionospheric propagation as a live sonic sculptural process and compositional tool. Signal uses real-time radio broadcasting and receiving, bouncing a signal across the ionosphere to integrate atmospheric noise into an analogue signal chain. It examines the transmission of basic sound sources and explores their ornamentation through environmental and atmospheric conditions.

The Earth is constantly bombarded by cosmic rays, but is now also shrouded in all kinds of anthropogenic radiation. The electromagnetic footprint of human activity on Earth is enormous. All of this radiation is invisible and usually inaudible. More and more artists are beginning to explore various forms of radation in their work. The panel is moderated by Nik Gaffney.
