These works are all try-outs for a radio static based Visual art installation I am developing.

Radio static is made up of interference from all electromagnetic fields in the immediate vicinity of the radio receiver. Also of degrading radio broadcasts, and of course white noise, which is the noise from the big bang. It is said that human beings have a frequency of there own, as does the earth. 
Radio sets suffer from interference from all electromagnetic fields within the immediate area, including human electrical fields. In previous experiments, the radio static volume and the noise itself has been affected by the viewers movement within the space, giving special awareness in the same way as echo location.  
Static and white noise also hint at the unknown, the unknown in our science and in our spirit.
