Daniel John Jones and Seb Emina create Infraordinary FM

Artists Daniel John Jones and Seb Emina have launched Infraordinary FM, a unique radio station using generative AI voices from ElevenLabs to report on mundane events across the globe, such as weather conditions, restaurant updates, and lost items, in real-time. This initiative, part of a group exhibition commissioned by Lab’Bel, features AI voices Thomas and Nicole, creating a soothing yet slightly eerie soundscape akin to a luxury spa's waiting room. Inspired by the concept of "infraordinary" from the French author Georges Perec, the station aims to highlight the overlooked aspects of daily life that conventional news outlets often ignore. The project successfully integrates various real-time data sources, and its novel approach has captivated listeners, prompting them to tune in for extended periods. Future plans include exhibiting Infraordinary FM in galleries and other spaces, potentially expanding its presence and inviting audiences to reflect on shared human experiences through the lens of ordinary events.
