Prototype #44, Net Pirate Number Station

"Yoshihide Sodeoka is a multidisciplinary artist and musician from Yokohama, Japan, who's lived in New York for more than two decades. Prototype #44, Net Pirate Number Station is essentially a short-wave radio 'number' station broadcasting over the internet. Enter and you will hear random web-generated number sequences read aloud by prerecorded video host personalities. Calming and trancelike — in a droning and perhaps vaguely threatening way — Prototype #44 was inspired by the many 'Spy Numbers Stations' that sprang up in intelligence communities around the globe during the 1960s. These stations still exist in the shadowcultures of the world today - in Europe, South America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East - everywhere. " -- From Turbulence
