Waver Station aims to investigate transnational identities through television media, a content stream that, since its invention, has influenced how communities perceive themselves and each other through transmitting cultural values, traditions and visual codes. The project traces the reception of different broadcasters, highlighting points of overlap and coverage areas between Italy and San Marino. This visual archive shows the expansion of broadcasting signals beyond national borders and emphasises how political boundaries can be overcome thanks to technology.

Waver Station raziskuje transnacionalne identitete preko televizijskega medija, vsebinskega toka, ki od samega nastanka vpliva na to, kako skupnosti ob prenosu kulturnih vrednot, tradicij in vizualnih kod dojemajo sebe in druga drugo. Projekt sledi recepciji različnih voditeljev televizijskih programov in poudarja momente prekrivanja med Italijo in San Marinom. Pričujoč vizualni arhiv prikazuje širjenje oddajnih signalov onkraj državnih meja in izkazuje, da je politične meje mogoče presegati s pomočjo tehnologije.
