coaxial is conceived as an operating antenna broadcasting information from its own channel. Made from low-tech materials, it explores an imaginary relation with high-tech devices. The work transmits in a random sequence, a series of short films dotted with different characters: a man building a spaceship from scrap, an Ukrainian YouTuber creating a Wi-Fi Gun, and a reborn doll creator, among others. These figures form an alternative archive of amateur knowledge and subcultural broadcasting. Coaxial foregrounds the contrast between corporate media authority and the chaotic signal of grassroots inventions.
