"The ether swaddles me," is a continuation of Kooi's current artistic and theoretical explorations into transmission art as a feminine poetics with Wave Farm serving as the ground of investigation. The work attempts to map the material and immaterial contours of Wave Farm, from which Kooi will develop a zine and performative installation that incorporates radio transmission, video, and dance. Kooi's project will employ photosensitive synthesizers, theremins, along with FM transmitters and receivers throughout the landscape. Audio recordings will be coupled with drawings, psychogeographic maps, writings, citations from research, and movement scores in an effort to unveil the electromagnetic spectrum as dense and heavy with history and possibility.
