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.

Wild Party Skype Tea with South Devon, England
February 13, 1400 PST / 2200 GMT
Part slumber party, part jungle party, WILD PARTY goes on 24/7 in a bedroom in an 18th c country house in South Devon, England. The kettle is always on in this wilderness of laptops, iPods, data projectors, bad puns, random theories, tea trivia, tea lights, throw pillows, paper cut-outs and painted plywood trees. Drop in on a fiction writer in stripy dressing gown, a teenager in a wolf suit, a butler in track pants, a stuffed cow in a plush coat and a panda in a bikini for a cup of Wild Berry Tea.
J. R. Carpenter, Aphra Kennedy Fletcher, Jerome Fletcher, Mooey and Panda, with guest appearances from Couch Potato (who is basically a potato) and The Zebra Socks, will broadcast one hour of their ongoing WILD PARTY live via Skype from Sharpham House, South Devon, England, to Centre A, 2 West Hastings St., Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, February 13, 1400 PST / 2200 GMT
