earSnake Day on NEXUSradio

Happy New Year! We're pleased to be teaming up with NEXUSradio to present - earSnake Day on NEXUSradio this Saturday January 10.

Here's a little background on NEXUSradio

NEXUS/foundation for today's art has transformed its gallery space into a low powered radio station for two months in December 2008 and January 2009. NEXUS has invited artists, musicians, performers, djs, activists, poets, scholars, local community groups and other members of the public to use the radio broadcast during gallery hours, Wednesday through Sunday 12 to 6 PM. The broadcast can be heard at 1650 AM.

NEXUSradio is a celebration of radio's legacy, the evolution of communication technology, and a reaction to the current state of commercial media. The exhibition explores highly intimate auditory experiences, the radio signal’,’s idiosyncratic nature and radio's own rich history through a two-month broadcast of participatory community based free-form radio. NEXUSradio is a platform for artists to investigate radio's potential as a medium and art making space through live performance, transmission and direct interaction with audience members.

earSnake Day at NEXUSradio will feature some artists in the instrumental / experimental vein from the earSnake roster, a DJ set from earSnake / Gemini Wolf co-founder, DJ Baby Cowface (Pandar) and the premiere of the first part of Mikronesia's epic multimedia saga, Pangaea.
