The nearly obsolete practice of tuning devices to receive information required patience, a virtue void in contemporary digital communication developments. “Tune-up” is an interactive series of antennas that explore the physical relationship between human bodies and communication systems. Composed of a metal structure, speaker, and programming device, “Tune-up” generates different frequencies of white noise depending on how it is oriented and engages the invisible process of tuning in our contemporary context.
