Turbulence Commission: "Prototype #44, Net Pirate Number Station" by Yoshi
Sodeoka
http://turbulence.org/works/sodeoka/
"Prototype #44, Net Pirate Number Station" is essentially a short-wave
radio "number" station broadcasting over the internet. Enter and you will
hear random web-generated number sequences read aloud by prerecorded video
host personalities. Calming and trancelike--in a droning and vaguely
threatening way--"Prototype #44" was inspired by the many "Spy Numbers
Stations" that sprang up in intelligence communities around the globe
during the 1960s. They still exist.
"We are proud to take our place in this community, amorphous as it may be.
Interactivity has been kept to a minimum. Users are encouraged to enjoy
themselves. Welcome to our station."
"Prototype #44, Net Pirate Number Station" is a 2003 commission of New
Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. (aka Ether-Ore), for its Turbulence web
site. It was made possible with funds from The Greenwall Foundation.
