HouseFM

“HouseFM” is a networked audio installation, created for Eyebeam’s Off-The-Grid exhibit. We installed a network of Raspberry Pis in a former officer’s house on Governor’s Island in NYC, each broadcasting on the same FM frequency a synthesized soundscape composed for its particular part of the house. As participants wander throughout the house wearing FM receiver headphones tuned to this frequency, they hear soundscapes fade in and out as they move towards and away individual devices on the network.
