Circuits 

The "circuits" that radio brings to the board enlarge and challenge the psychoanalytic model of the circuit.  They replace an economy of lack with a plenitude that, while it may be fantasmatic, facilitates new relations and surprising affiliations.  Sound theorist and artist Frances Dyson writes: 

 
 
The meaning of the voice lies in its movement; its ability to occupy different symbolic niches within different cultural/historical epochs. Perhaps the best description of this kind of flow is that which the metaphor of the circuit evokes. There are many models for circuits: the Chinese system of meridians or energy flows circulating the body; the western neuro-physiological mapping of the nervous system; transportation networks, money markets, communication grids. The circuitry is as much metaphorical as material or technological, and represents the flows and logics of cultural proclivities as much as the movements of natural phenomena.
