LECTURE

Sensorium Dial is an installation derived from radio frequencies drawn together by twenty antique radio receivers. A subtle and ever changing composition comprised of tunings made between licensed bandwidth carriers - free and yet to be commodified sound space.

Generative in nature, Sensorium Dial seeks the silences amidst the frequencies that articulate the ebb and flow of radio broadcasting in Europe. The silences represent what remains of that space which existed prior to the emergence of the first publicly accessible communications network, a community of listeners bound to each other by glowing valves and tissue-thin speaker cones, and no less by the crisis of Europe's tumultuous history through which radio matured.

Sensorium Dial is conceived by composer, Andrew Garton and KunstRadio producer, Heidi Grundmann. The radios for installation were provided by the Austrian collector Gustav Paier.
