 Location:

Western Front / Virtual

 Time:

2:00 p.m.

Description:

This performance was programmed as part of a multi-day celebration of Art’s Birthday that coincided with the 100th anniversary of radio. Local and international artists used sound, video, robotics, poetry, images, and performance to celebrate and deconstruct utopian ideas of network, radio, and places.  

Interdisciplinary artists Elizabeth Fischer and Lori Weidenhammer kept public diaries of thoughts, poetry, and images, in reaction to Art’s Birthday events in Vancouver and around the world. Their texts were published on a project website for Art's Birthday.
