Negentropic Explorations of Radio: Alloys of Matter and Information

Abstract

This is an experimental design research into the ways of organising archives on radio signals, using machine learning algorithms as operators of difference. Starting from radio signals as a natural and cultural phenomenon, the project challenges the persistent and foundational dualism in modern thinking (e.g. nature-culture) and proposes 'digital observatories': new methods for working with abundant digital information and digital corporeality.
