Radio Picnic #77 - When You Kick a Dog, It Barks

Radio Picnic is a mobile radio art project by zonoff which invites multi-disciplinary artists to create works inspired by the radio medium.

While reel to reel tape loops and FM transmitter/receiver copulations compete in feeding signals back to their sources, visitors to the installation become the unwitting conductors of the noise produced.

With open mics in the subterranean space recording everything on the tape loops, and open circuit transmitters sensitive to every movement effecting the radio noise, visitors can’t help being the innocent culprits responsible for such spontaneous cacophonies which yearn to be big, but are confined and compressed by their own physical limitations.

This compressed noise, reacting to its own echoes in the unique shape of the cellar, evolves in time and space with every revolution of the tape loop.
