Radio Ghetto是個建立於義大利雷吉諾區貧民窟的海盜電台計畫,此區域安置了將近2500名來自西非的移民,是義大利城郊眾多的貧民窟之一。Radio Ghetto計畫的發展讓居民可以透過電台發表和交流他們所經歷非人道的生活狀況,藉以揭露他們的掙扎及與其他的移民者資訊交流。

在影像中,作品結合文字、谷歌地圖及谷歌街景,強調了電台這個傳播媒介如何將資訊從中央連結至周邊,同時也藉著這分佈結構描繪出了移民者的行動軌跡。而針對移民者的相對方-雇主,作品不以正面視覺勾勒,而僅以他們的聲音創造出力量無處不在的痕跡。關於這些移民們的聲音,藉由這些創作媒材及影像素材,自最初至最終做為一種傳播工具,同時也做為一種思考的轉譯,表達了他們的生活是如何盤旋、被篩選及體現於各種權力框架之下。

Radio Ghetto is a pirate radio project established in the ghetto of Rignano, Italy. The region is one of the many ghettos located in the suburban area of Italy, housing about 2,500 migrants from the West Africa. The development of Radio Ghetto allows the residents to speak up and share their inhumane living conditions, so as to expose their struggles and exchange with other migrants.

In the video, the work combines texts, Google Maps, and Google Street View, stressing how the medium, radio broadcast, links the information from the center to the peripheral, as it portrays the movement traces of the migrants through this distribution structure. As for the counterparty to the migrant – the employer, the work does not depict them directly and visually. Instead, their voices are employed to create traces of their omnipresent power. The voices of these migrants in these creative mediums and image materials are a communication tool throughout, which serves as the translation of thinking as well, expressing how their lives hover, selected and manifested under all sorts power frameworks.
