Allied is a renowned radio brand from the US, originating in the 1970s. Consider the multitude of both distressing and inspiring news stories conveyed through this device. How do our perceptions of the world and our very understanding of reality form around this medium, influenced by both its accuracy and biases? Embarking on a symbolic and quasi-archaeological endeavor, I seek to unravel the intricate mechanisms behind the construction of "truth." Through the lens of an endoscopic camera, I delve into the inner workings of Allied, reimagining its structure as a landscape painting. This transformative journey offers a meditative and poetic invitation to immerse ourselves in the enigmatic depths of information dissemination, knowledge formation, and the complex dynamics of power.
