Interactive Installation

2026


Somewhere Still Transmitting is an interactive installation exploring analogue communication as a metaphor for memory, distance and unattainable connections.


Using a collection of vintage radios, the work investigates our desire to reach people, places and moments that can no longer be fully accessed, transforming radio transmission into an emotional rather than technological experience.

Process

Process

Process

The project originated from a vintage family radio and gradually evolved through collecting analogue devices, researching radio transmission systems and experimenting with Arduino-based signal modules. Extensive prototyping and hardware development led to a system where interference becomes the narrative itself, reinforcing the impossibility of recovering certain memories or reaching distant places despite our continuous attempts.

Audience Experience

Audience Experience

Visitors are invited to approach a structure of analogue radios, each broadcasting a different real radio station. As they move closer, the signal gradually deteriorates into interference, making the act of searching increasingly frustrating. The installation transforms physical proximity into emotional distance, suggesting that some connections become more fragile the harder we try to reach them.
