RANDY RADIO
Mk I,II,III (& so on)
2016-(NOW)
WARNING!
Creator of this device might be missing some detail to make the work (or his web site) better. Feel free to tell him what you think. This body of work is a still-growing (without limitation) process, pay attention to your radio for any echoed and distorted voice repeating "Landi Dendai" .
The crossing of dimensions, powers and emotions illustrate the flowing outlines of everyday observations. Adopting wireless communication as a means to break through boundaries and limitations of space, Randy Radio appropriates the early Taiwanese underground radio in which the switching between ads and drama has created a specific audio experience. Together with original fables written by artist Akimoto Su, the work reveals life in the academy as well as the struggles and traces of an artist-to-be.
In the third version of Randy Radio, the scale has been condensed to that of a guerrilla radio broadcasting station which includes an old CRT TV playing hand gestures unsync with the broadcast content, an MP3 live-delivering broadcast content in FM signal, and a radio receiving signals live.
