Transmission Artist
RADIO RUIDO
See also: Radio Ruido + Loula Nasaroff
Radio Ruido encompasses radio projects initiated by artist Tom Mulligan. Working both solo and in collaboration, these projects entail both composed installations as well as various improvised live sound situations. Often site-specific in content, they seek to challenge conventional concepts of radio as well as exploring and challenging the physicality of the performance space.
He is currently hosting Triangulation, a weekly Online Radio show Tuesdays live from Brooklyn, New York. The ongoing focus has been presenting a live forum for experimental sound cultures.
Radio Ruido has performed live with the audio-visual collective Dimmer and designed sound for Teatro Chinampa. He has recently exhibited at Deitch Projects, White Box, and Participant, Inc., in New York; at the
Contemporary Museum in Baltimore; and the Center for Contemporary Art Ujadowski Castle in Warsaw, Poland.
