What are you listening to?

“The Electro Magnetic Field-works” is a sound-art project in which the EMF of cities like Amsterdam, Antwerp, Brussels and Paris is being captured and translated into a sound composition. Captured in crowed areas in which the human acts as an unintentional sender and receiver. 

The signals are being captured by a small antenna that acts like an anti-radio. Instead of being tuned to a specific radio station, it receives all the interference and radiation that a traditional radio tries to eliminate in order to create a clean signal. It captures the radio waves “as is” from hertz to gigahertz because it doesn’t contain the tuned input circuit that filters out all frequencies except the narrow band of a specific station. This allows to perceive the invisible electromagnetic landscape that humans created unintentionally, and exposes an hidden sound landscape .
