Data as Culture - Art that uses data as a material
Lewis Bush used found online data and adapted intelligence agency methodologies to identify a series of possible sites transmitting numbers stations. These are shortwave radio broadcasts of coded messages believed to be intended for undercover agents. The installation occupies a place where paranoia and conspiracy collide constantly with objective fact.
