This episode features archival Morse code transmissions, maritime distress calls and the final broadcasts of radio stations across different geographies. Alongside these recordings, selected segments from the Research Agency publication, developed by Master’s students at the Centre for Research Architecture, are translated into a customised notation responding to the publication’s different curatorial pathways. The episode coincides with the Centre for Research Architecture Public Forum, opening this Thursday at St James Hatcham Church, Goldsmiths, and running until 2 October – a chance to see the works, the full publication, and the activations and events developed by this year’s cohort.
