His public works projects enjoin radio transmissions with infrastructures of the built environment, improvised radio-electronic objects, and performative architecture. Goldfarb's situational interventions explore conceptual properties of interference with strategies of unpredictability. His ongoing project M49, centers around a radio-utility studio housed inside a converted emergency vehicle, drawing together many facets Goldfarb's creative project.
