Embodied RF Ecologies
Embodied RF Ecologies, by Afroditi Psarra, explores the use of an integrated circuit (IC) mixer circuit to
make emissions from a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather satellite audible.
The textile antenna is used to detect radio-frequency (RF) transmissions. The circuit traces are made
with either conductive thread or fabric wires (handmade using copper taffeta conductive fabric), and the
connections are made with snaps in order to be able to be used in a performative context.
