free103point9: Transmission Arts
Galen Joseph-Hunter (Bard 96')
free103point9 is a non-profit arts organization focused on establishing and cultivating Transmission Arts. This genre includes experimental practices in radio art, video art, light sculpture, and installation and performance utilizing the electromagnetic spectrum. free103point9 was originally founded in 1997 as a microcasting artist collective in Brooklyn, NY, where its mobile operations made airtime available to community voices, local bands, and most significantly to a group of under-served artists shaping conceptual works specifically for radio transmission.
Transmission Arts is a conceptual umbrella that unites a community of artists and audiences interested in transmission ideas and tools. Transmission practices harness, occupy and/or respond to the airwaves that surround us. There is an inherent liveness to this work. In a performance-based setting, audience members are newly engaged, becoming participants rather than passive viewers and listeners. Installation or sculptural transmission works are often dependant on the present, reacting to whatever occupies the surrounding frequencies in a single instance, or changing that information by adding new signals to the spectral environment.
Wave Farm, free103point9's upstate New York location is located on 30 pastoral acres in the northern foothills of Catskill Mountain Park, 33 miles northwest of Bard. Wave Farm programs include artist residencies, a study center, a transmission sculpture garden, and a outdoor summer performance and exhibition series.
