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.

The MEADOW VALLEY
In the meadow valley, grooves, beats, and songs from every time and place weave amongst the tall grasses. Live acts mix and match traditional instruments with laptops and sound boxes. Lazy, whimsical afternoons in the meadow bloom with sideshows, cabaret acts, open mics.

The KNOLL
High on the hill, in the upper atmosphere, unearthly sounds waft down, generated through a collection of software, hardware, traditional instruments, vinyl, analog sounds, and circuit bent instruments…all under a geodesic dome and landscape of light and projections. From ambient to noise with stops at all points in between, alien soundtracks, techno, and spacehaus to broken beat, drum and bass, dub and experimental eclectica. Collaborative and solo sets, movements of sound and light from many of NYC’s best artists, musicians and DJs (+ special guests from abroad) evolve endlessly in the freeDome. Music for Semi Spheres: Transportitive Wave Ideas with Temporal Dome Radio … WTDR Music for Semi Spheres will broadcast live on WTDR 88.5 fm(within a point or two).

A night of martyrs and miracles paired with virtue and prosperity that both share roots in the the color RED. The strongest hue in every culture, it runs through our hearts and insights our passions.

This night promises to do the same, Delight in a sumptuous meal while firey demons and airborne dieties act out myths and traditions above and all around you.

A decadent feast for your eyes and stomach will unravel at your table, satisfying your appetite through every single sense. Fare and festival will be fused seamlessly with the power and stealth prowess of a tiger, as visceral and universal as the blood red in all of us and ending with a bang to usher in happiness, wealth and longevity.
