In its first iteration, Audio Placebo Plaza (the collective project of artists Erin Gee, Julia E. Dyck, and Vivian Li) occupied a storefront in Montreal’s Plaza Saint-Hubert for seven days in June 2021 as part of Undefine Radio’s pop-up gallery and pirate radio station. Curated by Martín Rodriguez and Emmanual Madan, this larger project convened “a series of radio interventions under the theme of ‘bodies in resonance.’” Through a series of bespoke compositions, Audio Placebo Plaza explored the promise of therapeutic sound, drawing on everything from ASMR to Muzak. In this hour-long selection from Audio Placebo Plaza’s week of transmissions, the artists first consult with a visitor in order to tailor a custom “placebo” to the visitor’s auditory needs. These appointments were broadcast through Undefine’s FM transmitter, along with the finished placebos – such as the one that appears in the final stretch of the recording.

The Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive is an online resource and broadcast series on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM, which is syndicated to stations across the country through The Radio Art Hour. It aims to identify, coalesce, and celebrate historical and contemporary international radio artworks created specifically for terrestrial AM/FM/Shortwave broadcast, whether it be via commercial, public, community, or pirate transmission. The archive is a product of Wave Farm's Radio Artist Fellowship.

Radio artists explore broadcast radio space through a richly polyphonous mix of practices, including poetic resuscitations of conventional radio drama, documentary, interview and news formats; found and field sound compositions reframed by broadcast; performative inhabitations/embodiments of radio’s inherent qualities, such as entropy, anonymity and interference; playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers, and the potential feedback loops between hosts and layers of audience, from in-studio to listeners at home to callers-in; use of radio space to bridge widely dispersed voices (be they living or dead), subjects, environments and communities, or to migrate through them in ways that would not be possible in real time and space; electroacoustic compositions with sounds primarily derived from gathering, generating and remixing radiophonic sources. Note: Wave Farm continues to expand this definition of radio art through engagement with contemporary practices including those revealed by Wave Farm Artists-in-residence, and the Radio Art Fellowship program.
