Repeator are mid way through their residency with Office for Art, Design and Technology, through 2017 they have developed a new body of work formed through active collaboration and exchanges within the city of Coventry. Repeator:Transmission manifests these idiosyncratic outcomes through live actions, events and subsequent broadcast at The City Arcadia Gallery, transmitting narratives out to new audiences and inviting further collaboration through walks, recordings and utterances within the city.
Spectres of time will build up to form the ‘Transmission’. Works will be broadcast, cut, conflated and collaged into a language of experience. Repeator will develop and narrate a response to their research into forms of communication and the technologies that enable the sharing of information. Communication produces new spaces, languages and identities. Within this ‘new’ environment Repeator responds via the surface of a screen, the eye of a lens, social media and phone conversations’. The roles of creator and consumer will be explored live within the city, with Repeator: Transmission offering an opportunity to make public and accessible these dynamics through new work in Coventry, a city undergoing major redevelopment and change .
