Program Description

Free Radio Pyrenees is an intensive course on the artistic possibilities of radio transmission and reception, exploring different means of engaging with the radio frequency spectrum that surrounds us, with the goal of collectively creating a site-specific pirate radio installation at CAMP, broadcasting to the surrounding community and beyond. Working with several different types of transmitters and receivers, we’ll explore how to use radio transmission in artistic contexts like sound design for theatre/opera, sculpture, art installations, generative sound works, and long-range pirate broadcasts. Alongside hands-on experimentation with different types of radio transmitters we will explore the history and context of pirate, community and free radio in Europe and North America, as well as different approaches to extended radio practices and techniques by looking at works that are rooted in radio but extend beyond standard broadcast forms.
