The Absence App
4 Extra Debut. An app is developed to stop communication. Secrets of the Institute of Radiophonic Evolution. With William Beck. From 2016.
These programmes reveal the secret work of the Institute of Radiophonic Evolution in South Mimms - drawing on conference calls, voice notes and life-logs, to tell a compelling and strange story of the technological lengths to which the researchers will go to push forward the boundaries of the emerging digital technologies.
Each week a jiffy bag of sound files arrives at the 91Èȱ¬. We listen to the contents to discover what backroom boffins Luke Mourne and Professor Trish Baldock (ably assisted by Shelley – on work experience) have been up to.
In this episode, they develop the Absence App and use it to disrupt a politically controversial radio broadcast.
