Transmission Arts, edited by Galen Joseph-Hunter, with Penny Duff and Maria Papadomanolaki. To be published by PAJ Publications 2010.

We are excited to announce that Transmission Arts will be published by the venerable and respected publisher PAJ Publications next year. The book will feature 150 transmission artists and works spanning early radio experiments of the 1880s up to contemporary artists. Each artist will be represented by an individual work and biography. Essays will place the genre of "transmission arts" in a historical context, laying the groundwork for the definition of a new art genre. The volume will be organized in sections dealing with radio broadcast, sound installation, performance, web-based projects, public works, and composition.

free103point9 is pleased to present two Microradio Sound Walks at the 2009 Ingenuity Fest in Cleveland featuring Matt Bua, Max Goldfarb, and Tom Roe. Microradio Sound Walk is a multiple transmitter sound piece and walking tour of local artist-generated airwaves. The piece consists of multiple transmission stations situated along a loosly defined walking path tuned to a single frequency, but with a limited range. At each station, an artist creates a soundscape on a single FM frequency that responds to both the architecture and sonic phenomena of a specific space. Listeners with radios tuned to the project frequency proceed through the route in the order of their choosing; as they move farther away from one station and come closer to the next, the signal they receive will shift. This sonic progression maps the spatial qualities of an area's local airwaves.

The Walks will take place on Friday, July 10 at 7pm and Saturday, July 11 at 4pm. Additional details will be posted as the become available. Please us the drop-down arrows to the left to access detailed information about each participating artist.
