You are looking at a printer:



You are looking at a radio:



In fact, it is a printer that prints specific words picked up while continuously scanning through all the FM spectrum.



It is designed for Mike Corley, to keep track of who is talking to him, to find all possible conspiracies against him, that him by himself could never possibly detect.



We designed it for him with custom-made electronics and voice recognition software.
Mike now finally has the tool that everyone who is concerned of conspiracies should have.
He is now more aware of the dangerous harassment campaign that surrounds him.

About Mike Corley

Mike Corley is a UK citizen and the author of the website five.org.uk where he keeps detailed stories on what he suspects being a campaign of harassment against him waged by the MI5, the British security service.

Problem or solution?

This radio has no sound; it plots problems, amplifies fears. It is completely automatic, Mike has no control over it, he can only evaluate the output of the radio's relentless search for signs of consipracy. Most people fear the medium, some are terrified by the message it carries.

The Video
