Deep Wireless Festival Opening Reception - Installations by Charles Stankievech & Michael Lissek May 27, 2010

Presented by New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA). The DEW Project by Charles Stankievech explores the past militarization of the Canadian homeland in the Arctic during the Cold War, as well as looking at the future of this same landscape amidst international debates of Arctic sovereignty. An installation, DEW is a radio transmitter embedded in a solar powered glowing geodesic dome.

Take Me Home was created as a Radio Documentary by Michael Lissek for Südwestrundfunk SWR Baden-Baden, Feb 2009 and has been adapted as an installation for the Deep Wireless festival 2010. Take me Home deals with the hope of finding a way to express yourself, to be able to say something which goes beyond your own words. The singing is not actually music but rather a kind of interview footage, original recordings which tell about the bodies and biographies of those who deliver the songs and their stories. Exhibition Times: May 27 - 30; Thurs/Fri 6 - 9 pm, Sat 9 am - 9 pm, Sun noon - 6 pm FREE Admission
