When we look back a few decades from now, will the artworks that we are producing now reflect this time? Are artworks engaging with spaces, people and technology and are they influenced and informed by their politics? Are we as artists ‘listening’? We were curious to explore these questions by ‘listening’ with a pool of artists. We are particularly excited about how the radio transmitter, a commoner’s medium can be made to sound different than what it is today. Can Sound artists and the radio transmitter reinvent the soundscape of the radio? Drishti wishes to engage with emerging artists in a journey to experiment on the Transmitterance.

About the Program

TRANSMITTERANCE is a 10 month long sound art program which aims to encourage young audio artists, musicians, poets, as well as artists working in other medium to create audio works in participation with communities exploring the various sound formats and pertinent socio- political questions. The program will engage with artists to reimagine the possibility and opportunities of the radio transmitter as a medium for sound art. The program would support the artwork journeys of 5 artists. Each artist would be expected to make at least 5 artworks during the span of 10 months. The program will engage artists through regular cross sharing and anchoring spanning through the length of the project. The artworks will then be launched through events and played on the radio station of Drishti (Radio Nazariya 107.8FM) in Ahmedabad, apart from being also put up online.
