Come and be a part of NYC’s First Artist Space Broadcast.

On April 15, 16, 17 a unique series of sonic, visual, and kinetic performances by pioneering space-minded New York artists will be broadcast live into outer space.  These virtual time capsules will be transmitted using a custom-built antenna.

Inspired by the existence of the Voyager Golden Record of 1977, Time Capsules to Space is NYC’s first artist space broadcast series created in the hopes of transmitting interplanetary / interdimensional understanding into the cosmos and to inspire a deeper human appreciation of Earth’s relationship to the greater cosmic landscape.

Audiences are welcome to transmit their own video messages to space after each evening’s event.

Please join us and be a part of this transmission!

FRIDAY APRIL 15 – a time capsule dedicated to the past – The Past Within Us
A journey into the memories embedded deep within movement, visuals, and sounds, this evening features a letter to extraterrestrials, a live mix projection and dance collaboration exploring the birth of the universe, a Modern Arnis martial arts demonstration, and a metaphysical music project calling back to the souls of the past.

SATURDAY APRIL 16 – a time capsule dedicated to the present – The Presents Around Us
Expressions of living in the moment are the theme of this time capsule, with an audiovisual/movement performance themed on laughter, a walking sound experiment using live radios and transmissions with live visuals, a video visiting the concept of human clothing, and a live VJ/DJ performance created with a custom video projection sculpture.

SUNDAY APRIL 17 – a time capsule dedicated to the future – The Future Beyond Us
Steeped in the possibilities of what exists and what could be, the final transmission is an unfolding of dimensions through a mini-modular-synthesizer orchestra and word collaboration that bleeds into a deep audio-multivisual journey between DJs, sounds artists, and VJs.
