Achim Mohné "Track 1 (47.12 min)", excerpdtdt by NoBasementIsDeepEnough published on 2014-10-25T10:29:32Z This track is a recording of the signals radiated by a Wi-Fi router during the sending of an image of the first analog cassette recorder from 1963 – a Philips EL 3200 -, attached to an email to Ignace De bruyn and Jan Van Den Dobbelsteen on the 4th of May 2014. The recorder - equipped with one microphone for each antenna - tapes the different transmission signals on the right or on the left channel as a “stereo signal”. The Wi-Fi router transmits at 3.4 MHz and thus generates 3.4 billion cycles per second. The actual reception of the signals is only a few seconds long, but is prolonged through ever deeper „analysis“. The fragmentation was achieved via different processes, both digital as analog, and via 'deceleration'. Therefore fragments of a second were distended to minutes in length. In this way the router's timing-in-seconds, much too fast for human perception, becomes open to „scrutiny“. Track 1 (47.12 min) „You are listening to the digital data packet of an analog photograph of the first analog cassette recorder from 1963 in the form of a digital sound recording while the sending of the image in an email to jada@iae.nl and ignacedb@hotmail.com on 4 May 2014 by a Wi-fi router in under 3 seconds.“ [sic] Genre scrutiny
