Radio Furniture
2010
Slade School of Fine Art

A range of plywood furniture that both transmits and receives a temporary radio station. The transmitter coffee-table, located in the reception area of the building, uses a hacked iTrip and a large antenna to broadcast a playlist of audio tracks chosen by the other participants of the exhibition. 

The remaining furniture units (a set of 6 armchairs, two high stools & a window table, and a five-man sofa) are dispersed across the rest of the building and fitted with small radios which relay the music into the space.

In collaboration with Tim Bouckley
