Mental Radio
Aleksander Kolkowski and kitt price recreate the experience of ’thinking-in’, when thousands of listeners engaged in radio telepathy experiments during the 1920s and '30s. British and American parapsychologists insisted that broadcasting was simply a means to access minds in the mass, but European investigators claimed they had captured the sound of ‘brain waves’ using radio equipment. 'Mental Radio' reanimates the archived protocols of mass telepathy, mixing the signals received by listeners with the soundscapes of the early twentieth century’s radiating brain. Commissioned as part of The Media of Mediumship, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. ('Isotopica' returns next week.) [Repeats Tuesday 8pm, Wednesday 10am.]
