Eran Schaerf: fm-scenario – broadcasting language – undercover operation – station announcement – error

fm-scenario is a project by Eran Schaerf that examines the construction of mass media and the production of space in the digital era. It consists of a website that allows users to create new narratives with audio bits from an archive of listeners’ calls, various features and news.
