The idea of progress is tied to the acceleration of atomic matter and the instrumentalization of free-flowing electrons powering greedy antenna's and appliances. Lots of what radio amateurs call, ‘dirty electricity’, leaks through the daily devices we use, while emitting electromagnetic fields permeate human and more-than-human bodies, as well as the spaces we inhabit.
What if these fields were seen as a critical natural resource, capable of awakening the power potentials of earthly and cosmic beings? This exhibition offers a gateway to technofeminist strategies for engaging with the explosive presence of radio frequencies, through intra-active transmissions between bodies and both physical and immaterial matter. [TBD] In a worksession we will activate the gateway.
