Channel Zero

About This Project

“Channel Zero”, fixed-media

“Channel Zero” is one of the ways Jean Baudrillard refers to life in the suburbs of the United States in his book “America”, with a special emphasis on our increasing relationship with technology. This fixed-media piece was made under lockdown in 2021 using the SOMA Ether, a device that perceives and records the surprisingly diverse electromagnetic landscape produced by electronic components in a regular American house. Throughout the piece, the electromagnetic fields are occasionally blended with field recordings, portraying a small window into the real world.

 

“Channel Zero” was ‘highly commended’ at the Sound of the Year Awards 2021 in the category “Composed with Sound”
