RADIO ART ARCHIVE

 

Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive: Audio

The Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive is an online resource and broadcast series on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM. It aims to identify, coalesce, and celebrate historical and contemporary international radio artworks created specifically for terrestrial AM/FM broadcast, whether it be via commercial, public, community, or pirate transmission. The archive is a product of the Wave Farm Radio Artist Fellowship established in 2019; each year a new Fellow will contribute new additions to this living and expanding resource.
