10th Anniversary!!!

A month-long celebration of radio and transmission art including performances, installations, radio broadcasts of commissioned works on CBC radio's Living Out Loud and the Radio Without Boundaries Conference

“As the convention of radio is questioned and no longer confined to the radio dial, Deep Wireless artists ask, what is the nature of transmission?  This May, NAISA celebrates its 10th edition of the Deep Wireless festival by once again bringing together people from around the globe – talented people who are continually pushing the creative boundaries of the world’s oldest electronic media, this time using the theme ABOUT TIME as a starting point. Many of the performances examine how the nature of not only time and space but the perception of the human body is altered by the pervasive presence of communications media in both personal and public space."— Darren Copeland, NAISA Artistic Director.
