Faint Transmission

Faint Transmission draws on the beliefs of the Aetherius Society, a UFO religion founded in 1955 by George King, who claimed to have received telepathic messages from extraterrestrial beings. The group continues to perform rituals on Brown Willy, a Cornish hill which they believe is a point of contact. Reimagining the landscape as a signal, the series employs an iconography drawn from early space imaging. The work translates the ordinary into the alien, rendering Brown Willy remote and indefinite, like messages from afar that suggest the tenuousness of distant communication.
