Mixed Messaging System

Mixed Messaging System is a durational broadcast work utilizing community sourced recordings of purring cats and screaming humans. An art therapy project conceived during a winter lockdown curfew in Québec, this work offers listeners an endless stereophonic choice for dealing with an endless pandemic: on the left, endless screaming; on the right endless purring. Use your balance dial for your desired emotional mix.

The database for this project will be ongoing and we continue to except audio recordings of screams and cat purrs. If you are interested please email audio recordings to mixedmess.system@gmail.com if you wish to be credited in the work please include your name or the name of your cat.

This project is created by Martín Rodríguez, Peter Flemming, and Rodrigo Ramírez. It is part of a series called Manual for a new neighborhood curated by Eric Mattson. (C) 2021-2022…
