Hayward Gallery
London SE1 8XX

Overview

At Hayward Gallery Project Space. Aura Satz premieres a new film and sound installation that centres on the invention of 'frequency hopping', patented in 1941 by Hollywood star Hedy Lamarr and composer George Antheil. The 'Secret Communication System' enabled radio-controlled guidance of torpedoes by synchronising frequency changes in transmitter and receiver, thus avoiding enemy detection.
