"an interactive 24/7 radio installation by volkmar klien"

aural codes exposes the sonic world of the internet, randomly sampling its digital data streams and remixing these to create a constantly changing, reassuringly meaningless 24/7 AM radio broadcast.

a hearing aid to hidden sound.
an interaction of undiscovered noise.
a dj free space where listening makes music.

enhance your local bit of ubiquity and mc the sonic broadcast at the interactive gateways.

aural codes rewires computer networks to radio.

data streams at arbitrarily selected points of computer networks in the region are interpreted as digital representations of sound. they serve as sound-sources and process-controls.
the sound sources are fed into a dsp - blackbox controlled by the process-controls. additionally interactive gateways are spread over the local area (serial-sockets on street corners, etc.).

thus a hybrid network of possibilities of influences is set up. the resulting stream of sonic events is modulated onto a carrier-frequency and broadcast via radio as a reassuringly meaningless band of noise hidden between all the other noises in the AM-range.
every sonic event is information and via the mediator energy-exchange, all information can become a sonic event.

aural codes acts as a hearing aid, a hearing aid for listening in its widest sense. something that originally cannot be heard is transposed into something that - without technical equipment - cannot be heard.
