Tincuta Heinzel and I present our work-in-progress radio installation Signal to Noise (working title) at Opekta Studios, Cologne.
Signal to Noise
Installation, 2014
In cooperation with Tincuta Heinzel
“Signal to Noise” is a radio based audio installation dealing with the concreteness of ideological discourses and the imaginary of the “Other”. Using two FM radio transmitters and a number of mobile radio receivers, the project creates a volatile acoustic space in which two concurring voices and ideologies compete by broadcasting on the same frequency. Carrying mobile radios, listeners permanently enact an ever-changing soundscape by moving through the space in which both transmitters interfere.
Solar Wind Aeroscope
Installation, 2014
In cooperation with Jonas Hansen
The Solar Wind Aeroscope is an artistic instrument dealing with atmospheric conditions that depend on “space weather:” a storm of electromagnetic particles from the sun that constantly affects our atmosphere.

Through this network, the Aeroscope can “see” the atmospheric conditions caused by the solar wind. Continue reading
