Radio Spectrum

For an Art module, as part of my Masters in Human Ecology at Strathclyde University, I had the idea to collect recordings of a spectrum of opinions about climate change that could be accessed by turning a dial on an old fashioned radio. I used an FM radio transmitter and a Sony Walkman for each speaker, tuned to a different radio frequency.

I am acutely aware that there are many grades of opinion on every subject, nothing is ‘black or white’. Opinions on Climate Change are especially nuanced.

I only have fragments of that project left (picture of radio transmitter and Walkman, so I decided to update it and make it available on the web.

I used an Elementor module that enabled me to create hotspots on an image, and to add sound clips that activate when the hotspots are hovered over.
