DRIVE-THRU
2018
Installative Performance w/ Eunice Fong
As part of the Radiophonic Spaces: Presence at a Distance at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin
DRIVE-THRU is an installative performance in the frame of the
installation Radiophonic Spaces. It explores acts of transmission and
reception in those in-between zones and the simultaneities of
time-frames, as well as the development of technologies by flipping
through different types of radio broadcasting, from radio plays to
media-specific composition, to digital podcasts and broadcasting. What
types of borders and areas arise from the process of broadcasting? How
do different acts of "tuning in" from the side of the listener affect
our understanding of geographical space?
It consists of RC cars equipped with different types of receivers and
speakers, controlled by the performers in a free improvisatory manner.
The RC cars explore the
different signals in the installation of the Radiophonic Spaces and
ultimately create a live collage composition, contrasted by a fixed
composition made up
of commercials and radio programs related to 1950’s mobile radio and car
culture.
