"Duration Unknown" (2010) by Mobile Radio (Sarah Washington and Knut Aufermann) is a journey, perhaps by car, into a world of uncertainties. The concepts of 'where we are headed' and 'how we will arrive' are tuned into twin impossibilities, inviting us to open up for examination the steadfastness of some firmly held beliefs. We encounter unexpected answers to searching questions, but are never entirely sure if we are being offered obscure philosophical suggestions, directions to modify our outmoded habits, or if we are simply tuning in to the confused internal duologue of a divided conscience."

Music recorded at WORM Electronic Music Studio, Rotterdam, June 2010. Produced by Mobile Radio, Ürzig, 2010.

The resource contains primary materials from early microradio broadcast collaborations among Brooklyn-based artists in the mid-nineties, transmission works created by the hundreds of artists who have participated in Wave Farm projects, broadcasts, and residencies, as well as historical and contemporary projects that comprise the canon of the genre.
