]<}* draws from DIY satellite cultures, operating as a pulsing magnetic form under the watch of taxidermy chicks. A nanoVNA network analyzer monitors the resonance of its dish in real time, producing output akin to a heart monitor. This bio-electrical device suggests the object’s synthetic vitality, measured and displayed as data. The chicks’ gaze contrasts with the animated signal, questioning the nature of perception and presence. Here, monitoring functions codify, translate, or contain a sense of aliveness within systems of technological scrutiny and representation.
