Founded in Brooklyn, NY, in 1997, as a microradio artists’ collective creating works for radio transmission, in 2002, Wave Farm (formerly known as free103point9) became a nonprofit arts organization focused on cultivating Transmission Arts, or artists experiments with the airwaves. Transmission art is generally a participatory live-art or time-based art, and often is made manifest as radio art, video art, installation, and performance.
Now based in New York’s Upper Hudson Valley (Acra, NY), Wave Farm is a non-profit arts organization that celebrates creative and community use of media and the airwaves. Wave Farm programs support artists who engage the transmission spectrum, on the airwaves and through public events, and include the Wave Farm Artist Residency Program, the Transmission Arts Archive, and Wave Farm Radio. Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM is a creative community radio station. Hands-on access and participation activate WGXC as a public platform for information, experimentation, and engagement. Over 100 volunteer programmers produce shows. Community programs include news and music produced by residents of Greene and Columbia counties, as well as syndicated national programs produced by Pacifica. WGXC commits over 60 hours a week to transmission art and experimental sound. In partnership with the New York State Council on the Arts Experimental Media and Film program, Wave Farm also manages a statewide regrant program, the Media Arts Assistance Fund, and the New York Media Arts Map.
Applicants should be prepared to commitment no less than 24 hours/week for 6 – 8 consecutive weeks. Applicants should posses enthusiasm for transmission arts and be interested in an immersive experience including hands-on work with artists and the inner workings of a non-profit arts organization.
