Frequency 2156, Can You Hear Me?

February 19, 2018

https://frequency2156.com/signal/525/ Why do you think the creators chose audio as the medium? I believe it sets the tone of an apocalyptic world, because they would not have TVs nor internet. Radio signals can move across the world and is very … Continue reading →

February 19, 2018

First off… this is reallyyy reallyyy cool! Love this site. I think the creators chose audio as the medium because I think it allows the listener to create their own images of who is behind the voice and fully immerse themselves in the stories. I think adding video would distort the cohesiveness of this story …

The Frequency 2156 website is pretty cool overall. It tells a story through different areas of the world where people put in audio after what seems like the apocalypse. I think they did a good job because when you listen to different audios you get an image in your head of where that person is …

I found Frequency 2156 interesting and very difficult. Audio is a nice choice since in the case of the apocalypse, I don’t think many of us would have the time or ability to watch TV. We’ll either be hiding or running. The use of audio also allows the listeners to imagine the apocalypse. You might know that “they” are […]
