Presented in partnership with the CKLU Radio Station, the GNO is delighted to have its brand-new sound project vibrate to life.
Using the radio as a medium, Project :: FM curated by Dunstan Topp, facilitates the creation and presentation of new sound works.
A workshop offered by Montreal digital artist, Florence Delphine Roux, allowed some twenty Sudbury artists to inform their practice through scanning frequencies, techniques, and technologies in a collaborative laboratory setting.
The Project :: FM reverberated on the radio station CKLU as part of FAAS 8, on Wednesday, May 13 at 7 p.m. It was also accessible virtually through our Facebook event and in person on the terrace of Station 84 on Elgin Street.
