Take part in an HF audio art experiment

Kapwani Kiwanga, a Canadian artist who works primarily with sound and vision invites radio amateurs with good HF capabilities to take part in an audio art project on 20 metres.

Kapwani will transmit a message on 20 metres from Eindhoven, the Netherlands, to territories that have a historic link with Holland, namely: Surinam, Indonesia, and South Africa.

Participants in these countries are asked to re-transmit the received message back to her in Eindhoven. Kapwani will transmit it back to and so on and so on. This ping-pong effect will increasingly distort the message finally resulting in an abstract artistic sound recording.

She has created an original sound piece based on archives of 1940's Dutch programming found at Radio Netherlands. Her sound creation will include some Morse code and sound recordings. It will not be "music" in the conventional sense. This message will not be political or offensive in nature.
The duration will be approximately three minutes.

Kapwani would like to get started as soon as possible.
If you would like to take part in the project, send Kapwani a mail to kiwangakap@hotmail.com or call her on 0031 617 638 920. Copy to SARL News at armi@sarl.org.za, we would like to keep track of the experiment.

Kapwani recently was invited as an artist in residence at MU in Eindhoven.
