Signals

A dramatic welcome to the home at 42 Anderson Street, Signals repurposes technology typically used for commercial advertising or stage performances to create a literal sign-post for [AT HOME] Wyndham. It also transmits a program of text-based works generated from local artists, poets and writers – including Dr Monika Schott, Kait James, Rachel Morly and the Western Union Writers – inviting audiences to come inside and engage. 

Signals explores one of the central themes of [AT HOME] Wyndham: the often fluid boundary between the public and private in the contemporary suburban home. This tension between the intimate and the commercial is intrinsic to Signals, where personal messages are directly juxtaposed with the screen’s commercial build.

Signals also speaks to how, in transforming this private home into an open, public space for one weekend, [AT HOME] Wyndham actively blurs these lines further, inviting you to leave any preconceived ideas about home at the door and immerse yourself in this one.
