The project focused on radio signals in relation to Korea’s national division. Nadoe visited the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between South and North Korea to track how the radio signals changed according to location. There was an expectation to catch some North Korean broadcasts, but this did not happen because both governments jam each other's signals. Despite being in the northernmost area accessible, they couldn’t listen to North Korean broadcasts, which was ironic compared to a prior experience of hearing North Korean broadcasts in the Netherlands.

Various materials were collected, including telescope video footage toward to North Korea direction, radio signals, and writings about the experience in the DMZ. The detailed account included restrictions on personal freedom and a small incident with a soldier during the tour.
This presentation or work is considered an archive of the gathered materials.
