Departments
Ten quiet offices for transmissions, sound maps, filmstrip lessons, broadcast schedules, field dispatches, letters, seasonal programmes, and sources. The Reader stops being only a site and starts behaving like an old institution with rooms you have not opened yet.
The Transmission Office
A signal desk for broadcasts that arrive without a picture.
Department Index
Each department is a small world with its own history, logs, specimens, image references, credits, and outward paths to archives that share the Reader's temperament.
