Jun Oenoki (born in 1962 in Saga, Japan. Lives and works in Tokyo) is a prolific creator of installations and performances featuring electronic devices and equipment and is also actively involved in free radio and streaming, such as the free radio station “Shimokitazawa Radio Homerun” (1984-1994). In Yokohama 2005, Oenoki is collaborating with MIKAN (established in 1995.) to create a radio mobile broadcasting station. The radio station in the venue – which will be moved everyday – will broadcast live and feature a range of guests and artists. Anyone with an FM radio will be able to hear the program anywhere inside the venue, so that this radio station will not only be a medium connecting the various events taking place inside the venue but will also represent an alternative Yokohama Triennale venue, one with invisible boundaries, but still a place that large numbers of people can enter and leave, a place for encounters and interaction. Warehouse Keepers (formed in 2005), meanwhile, is a collaborative of students and local residents formed for this project, the role of which is to run the radio programs.
