Ham radio artwork returns to Tate Gallery
The artwork Ten Minute Transmission, featuring the Kenwood TS-2000 transceiver and the International Space Station is again on display at the Tate Gallery in London.
Made of wire and attached to the TS-2000, this sculpture receives radio signals from the ISS and transmits them into the gallery space.
The title of this work, Ten Minute Transmission refers to the period of time when the ISS can be contacted as it flies past.
Although the ISS orbits the Earth once every 90 minutes, it only passes close enough to the artwork to receive any signals just twice a day.
See tate.org.uk for other details about the exhibit.
