Dream; This Frequency
(satellite project)
Mary Walling Blackburn (Chicago)
Nov 1st - 30th
Length: 24 hours/day,
Location: Pilsen neighborhood, map

Fragments of a soldier's nocturnal dream will be broadcast by micro
radio transmitters from five different Pilsen locations. As drivers
navigate a preordained route, they will be able to tune in to the
station and listen to the dream until they have passed out of range.
What has coagulated in the dreaming mind of a soldier will be mechanically
leaked into the ether, the causeway of the public's consciousness.
"This Dream, This Frequency" is bounded by 18th Street,
Cermak, Ashland, and
Halsted. Drivers may tune to 1360 AM to access it. map
