Hello ✨🦋✨
This is the Trans-Harmonium in Philadelphia on July 13, 2024. It’s tuned to local radio stations. As I travel and record this instrument I am documenting fragmented simultaneous broadcasts occurring in each city at random moments to collect an archive of fragmented time ✨📻🎹📻✨

A 61 key reed organ that still functions as a pump organ, but has been modified to split the signals into a five-part, twelve channel audiovisual system controlled by the keyboard. The instrument processes audio and video signals from live broadcast television through antennas and digital tuners.

An 8mm Bolex with a damaged winding mechanism was donated to my studio. After extensive attempts to repair the camera, I gave up when I got to the timing issue. Setting it aside for parts, I found a functional model and got my first bit of test footage back from Colorlab today ✨🎞️✨

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

No one knows what caused last night's tragic crash outside DCA.
Investigations are ongoing, and no one - not Donald Trump or anyone else - should be drawing conclusions until all the facts have been released.
But here is what we do know. (1/7)

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.
