Mixed Signals is an installation work that utilizes sounds collected from certain regions prohibiting civilian entrance (Igil-ri, Yugok-ri, etc.) and places left as historical structures such as checkposts, the Labor Party Office, Kilometer Zero, and Jeongyeon Railroad Bridge. Electromagnetic signals of various levels based on specific regions (broadcasting, military communication signals, radio disturbances, etc.), vibrations based on geologic composition, acoustics from nature (sounds of animals in the CCL area, etc.), and sounds from military activities (military training and gunfires, etc.) are used as principal materials. This work implies the historical, geographical reality characteristic to the Southern Limit Line via sound, at the level of information. In the space of Culture Station Seoul 284, the installation allows the viewers to experience a soundscape emblematic of the Korean division.
