Can you hear me from over here? (2021 - now)

As a kid I had a microphone with a headset.
It made everything sound different.
More vibrant!


One day I took an old lid from a pan and stuck
the microphone in the middle. When I aimed it
somewhere I could point my ear at distant
objects. A few years later I discovered radio
communication and got me and my friend
further down the street a little CB radio running
off an old Lego train power supply. My friend
and I pointed the antennas out of our windows
and we were able to speak to each other.
I found it fascinating.


In 2021 I once again got inspired by these
techniques.


"Can you hear me from over here"
consists of a series of experiments concerning
long distance non-verbal communication
through radio / light and other ways.
