We were delighted to deliver a performance lecture at Auto Italia in London on 21st May. Attempting to engage the sculptural work of Zahra Malkani in her exhibition Noorani Metal Sound  as a giant antenna, we met in time for dusk, capturing radio signals diffracted off the ionosphere. The metallic elements of the sculpture were employed to help us transduce signals, in a collective demonstration of DIY radio-making.

This event was part of the engagement programme Metal x Metal curated by Dr Syma Tariq.

In September we devised a new performance, collaborating for the first time with artist Amanda Gutiérrez visiting from Mexico City. During the performance we read texts related to radio and women's voices - some humorous, and played with micro-transmission, sound diffusion via handheld radios, modulation and feedback loops.

The performance took place during an event celebrating the 20th anniversary of Creative Research in Sound Arts Practice (CRiSAP) titled 'An Evening with CRiSAP', at Cafe Oto, London.
