It’s been the coldest August in 25 years in Germany. Plenty of dreary grey clouds, intermittent showers, and dampness. Which, of course, makes it pretty difficult to get satellite signals, what with all that cloud and rain in the way. It was exactly because of this that our next proposed LES-1 monitoring expedition, beginning at […] Full details »

As part of the research for a new work, we have made antennas to try to receive the signal from the LES-1 satellite. Time to test the antennas. For our first attempt, on the morning of August 19., 2016, the time-frame for intercepting signals looks like this: So this means that shortly after 6am, the […] Full details »

As part of the research for a new work, we have built one antenna, and named it Peter. Our second one will be named Heather. She’s a logarithmic periodic dipole antenna — one that will get a stronger signal in a narrower field than Peter. For Heather, we needed some basic materials: a 3-meter-long wooden […] Full details »

For our new work, we are going to be building two antennas. Specifically, a bi-quad antenna and a logarithmic periodic dipole antenna. This is an outline of the process of making the first of these antennas, which we decided to name Peter. This first antenna, Peter, will receive signals at a broader range, but at […] Full details »

We are trying to figure out how to get a reliable signal from the LES-1, a now-defunct satellite launched in 1965. This will be the first part of our research for a new work, which aims to create a response to the erratic signals of the LES-1. The work is supported by the Art + […] Full details »
