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.
With locations in Upstate and Brooklyn, New York, free103point9
activities support and promote artists exploring transmission
frequencies for creative expression. free103point9 programs include
public performances and exhibitions, an experimental music series, an
online radio station and distribution label, an education initiative,
and an artist residency program and study center. Founded in 1997 as a
microcasting artist collective in Brooklyn, NY, free103point9's 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. free103point9
evolved into a non-profit media arts organization defining
ìTransmission Artsî as a conceptual umbrella that unites a community of
artists and audiences interested in transmission ideas and tools.
free103point9 Transmission Artists include 31 Down, Alexis Bhagat, Matt
Bua, Damian Catera, Melissa Dubbin and Aaron S. Davidson, The Dust
Dive, Joshua Fried, Anna Friz, Tianna Kennedy, Latitude/Longitude,
Sophea Lerner, LoVid, Todd Merrell, Matt Mikas, Michelle Nagai,
neuroTransmitter, ben owen, Radio Ruido, Tom Roe, Michelle Rosenberg,
and Scanner.

free103point9 works with a core group of artists exploring
transmission as a medium for creative expression. This genre includes
experimental practices in radio art, video art, light sculpture, and
installation and performance utilizing the electromagnetic spectrum.
Transmission practices harness, occupy and/or respond to the airwaves
that surround us. There is an inherent ìlivenessî 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.
