The Art Radio broadcast boat at the 2007 Biennale
Venice Biennale

A series of talk and musical programs assembled from our various trips to Venice for the Biennale dating back to 2005. The programs range from round table discussions to interviews to DJ sets to virtual pavilions rendered in music and sound. On two occasions we broadcast live on Italian FM radio from a boat moored near the Giardini. In 2011 our roving reporters cover the scene while the interview booth is headquartered near Piazzo San Marco. We also partnered with artist Federico Diaz and his sculpture-building robots to design a special series called Robot Radio.
