Great Waves
Residency and exhibition in Great Yarmouth, 2024-25
As the commissioned artists for YARMONICS festival, we spent time in Great Yarmouth in the autumn of 2024 - meeting local artists, collectives and community groups, and delivering public workshops. During these visits, we used radio circuits as a methodology to learn about the area. Together with residents, we constructed homemade radios (dubbed Open Wave-Receivers) and considered the function of each component in the circuit (antenna, ground, coil, diode, phones). We turned this into a set of questions: Where do residents go to receive signals? Where do they feel grounded? We produced a zine that documents these conversations, questions, and locations.
The list of locations that symbolically stand in for the elements of a radio circuit, described by participants, then acted as our guide. We took various microphones and DIY radios to some of these locations, filming our adventures on an analogue camera. The resulting film, zine and radios constructed on-site formed an exhibition at PrimeYarc in May 2025, organised by originalprojects; and supported by Eastern Ear, Arts Council England and Ranworth Trust.
