TOB project

TOB – Transmitting Object Behaviors

TOB is an open project of the Berlin electronic artist Jo FRGMNT Grys – over time there have been numerous members, collaborators & associates. Just to mention: Seamus O´Donnell, Kaspar König, Martin Kuentz, Jeremy Clarke & others.

The TOB production idea is derived from concepts of occupation of spaces and communication technologies and recycling/re-using materials:

1st level:- the input in micro-local space (diy vibrational microphones, kids toys, the guts of a videogame, fm receivers) is taking instruments, inner sounds of bicycles, selfmade electronic devices, feedbacks.

2nd level:- radio p.a. is supplying the next ambience with amplified acoustic events.

3rd level:- fm transmitters supply the wider ambience & are used for feedback.

4th level:- sometimes we transmit into global space via the internet.

The erroneous nature of all these communication ways producing interference, hiss, noises, hums – is part of the game.
