While researching military simulations, I came across a bunch of videos describing SimNet and ArpaNet. I used these and my machine sounds, combined with the radio experiments for the first trial of my intervention. People were invited to take move a pocket radio around, and discover in 3D space “clouds” of sounds. Using two hidden radio emitters, they could physically explore virtual space. It was staged in two versions; the first used looped recordings playing simultaneously, cancelling and amplifying each other, which was staged in Here East, the second version was more linear and pre-recorded. This was displayed in the Barbican Centre as part of “What’s Happening on the Inside?”. It was really great to see how people interacted in both places, and although it started out as part of the intervention, it later became a structural element of my film.
