a fifteen-part live iterative transmission artwork, that ran as a radio serial from 11-25 September 2021. Microcast over local airwaves on the frequency 104.5FM, the serial was a daily poetic reworking of Daniel Defoe’s A Journal of the Plague Year (1722), written as 'a fictional reworking of true events,' a mock-first-hand account of the last epidemic of bubonic plague in London in 1665. Each morning in Melbourne, the number of positive local Covid-19 cases and the number of days the city had been in lockdown were triangulated. This mechanism was then used in selecting and producing a daily double-reading of a Defoe passage, as voice and morse code.

a site-specific mini-FM radio programme which conducts radio art as a form of experimental fieldwork. It investigates notions of non-human forest memory, the “endemic,” and the globalisation of species in postcolonial landscapes, through engagement with the audible sounds of the tallest flowering plant in the world, a tree native to Tasmania and Victoria, but now found worldwide.
