Life Sentence: Ed Baxter & Anthony Moore - Live Radio Art Performance

In The Ninth Bridgewater Treatise (1837) the Victorian polymath Charles Babbage suggested that "The air itself is one vast library. One, on whose pages are forever written all that woman or man has ever said or whispered." This thought is the basis of Anthony Moore's composition "Hello, this is a sentence" on a live performance of which this digressive and deconstructionist broadcast by Anthony and Ed Baxter is in turn based. Life Sentence explores the way in which words both enter the memory of the hearer and continue into the air and addresses the mode of half listening that applies to the medium of radio.

Dinahbird - Goldlines

Super High Frequency radio waves, signal noise and field recording recorded at the base of antennas between Chicago and New York, London and Frankfurt. High-frequency trading (HFT) uses complex algorithms to analyse multiple markets and execute orders. In trading vocabulary a signal is a pattern of data that influences these algorithms, inciting them to buy or sell shares or cancel an order. Since 2016 Bird and Renoult have been mapping these radio routes by finding the pylons, frequencies and relay links that transmit HFT data back and forth, in loops that cover the Earth.
