Freshkill is an architectural sculpture and serial transmission artwork. The installation presents the story of a mobile object, its history and potentiality. Recently built from the dismantled materials of a former emergency vehicle (M49), the unfolded form now serves as a field station constructed from the bones and artifacts of the truck.

Tune in to WGXC 90.7-FM and wavefarm.org/listen every 5th Saturday at 11 am ET for a one-hour broadcast composed of local sound ecology, observational narration, and articulations of the mechanical components of the M49; its meanings and purpose reshaped as it traversed the machine of the road to arrive at its present site.
