Radio boffins assist Skanksy – the aural graffiti artist.

Can an artist’s secret identity be unmasked? Secrets of the Institute of Radiophonic Evolution. With Emma Kilbey. From 2016.

These programmes reveal the secret work of the Institute of Radiophonic Evolution in South Mimms - drawing on conference calls, voice notes and life-logs, to tell a compelling and strange story of the technological lengths to which the researchers will go to push forward the boundaries of the emerging digital technologies.
 
Each week a jiffy bag of sound files arrives at BBC Radio 4. We listen to the contents to discover what backroom boffins Luke Mourne and Professor Trish Baldock (ably assisted by Shelley – on work experience) have been up to.
 
In this  episode, they help audio graffiti artist Skanksy to mashup BBC Radio 4 – and try to unmask his secret identity at the same time.
