However, once the satellite dish is disconnected from its normal architectural situation, there is nothing preventing it of becoming an instrument for performance. Thus, I feel that some of the pieces also suggested a sort of ''poetics of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_surfing channel surfing]''. With this term, I’m implying all forms of manipulation of a reception device in search of particular signals. Primary examples of channel surfing would be scanning radio frequencies after a station; zapping through TV channels with a remote control; and even adjusting an antenna on the roof to increase the quality of the image. Of course, the list could be expanded to include more spatial forms of signal rummage, from centuries old [http://www.britishdowsers.org/learning/what_is_dowsing.shtml dowsing] to modern techniques such as [http://www.gearbox.mediashed.org/?section=tutorials&action=view&id=120 CCTV sniffing] (and, why not, the auditing of electromagnetic fields of the [[Satellite Border Footprint/SnowKrash|SnowKrash]] duo and the research-performances of the Büro). | However, once the satellite dish is disconnected from its normal architectural situation, there is nothing preventing it of becoming an instrument for performance.
