radioCona REuseCITY:REuseRADIO is a research-exhibition project that takes place simultaneously at an FM frequency, in a gallery, and in urban space. The project focuses on a parallel process of potential uses of the city and radio frequencies. The exhibition listens to the environment to uncover its hidden potential, drawing attention to its fluid and mutable nature and to how one perceives instabilities in the environment. The participating artists respond and play with contingency by marking their locations, using transmission technologies to reframe space. The selection and presentation of their diverse sonoric poetics seek to unveil the patterns embedded in an environment, our ingrained ways of perceiving the city and electromagnetic territories, and to incise them, transform them, and open them up to unexplored possibilities.

The exhibition brings together Slovenian and international artists working in radio art. Artists from the region were invited to take part in a workshop organized in collaboration with Anna Friz, to explore possible approaches to examining nocturnal cityscapes through the use of radio technologies. New sonic productions were developed at the workshop. Thus in addition to presenting the curators’ selection of existing radio art works, the exhibition also serves to premiere new works made at the workshop by Marko Batista, Simon Macuh, OR poiesis, Maria Papadomanolaki, Irena Pivka, Mikro, Vasja Progar and Brane Zorman.

The third selection for this broadcast features artists: Brane Zorman Field Frequency Flux and Vasja Progar A Study in RFI

Brane Zorman Field Frequency Flux
Soundwalk  Field Frequency Flux explores and initiates a sound, spatial and experiential situations that arise in the formation of temporary and unstable communities with exposure to an individual in the face of diverse natural ambience. Middle of the park One enters the silence and the emptiness winter nights. He/She is equipped with a radio receiver  as a translator and to trap electromagnetic remote audio content. On the walk sounds of nature merge with the one reflected from the distant urban areas and ones reveived via FM broadcast.
Vasja Progar A Study in RFI
The work is a research of the sound potential of radio-frequency interference (RFI), which presents the starting material from which the sound composition will be created, by using montage and processing.
