At the height of the pandemic I joined the NYC venue Public Recordsas the Director of PRTV. Broadcasting 5 days a week after dinner, this virtual stream provided a creative platform and nightly gathering place during a time when cultural and social voids felt the most vast. Flickering somewhere between public access tv and a TikTok feed, the open format offered a daily rotation of musical performances, dance, DJ sets, video art, films, archival media, label releases, astrology readings, and new experiments by 500 contributors from NYC to Beirut, London, Mexico City, Cleveland and beyond.
Guest artists & contributors include: John Batiste, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, Suzanne Ciani, Rebecca Salvadori, Slow Dive, Arthur Moon, Marina Rosenfeld & Hanna Lippard, John Akomfrah, Wide Awakes, Princess Lockaroo, Sonic Messengers (AceMo/Savile), Orange Milk Records, Hassan Abou Alam, Star Eyes, Jubilee, Nasty Nigel, Kilbourne, Nadia Khan, Alien D, Ben Bondy, Shakiro Nil, Byron Westbrook.
Residents include: Four/Four, Black Bandcamp (Black Artist Database), Quo Vadis / Strange Edition, Clips Co-Op, Orphan Drift, Aloha Got Soul, Kamran Sadeghi, Hidden Spheres, In Your Dirty Ears, Cosmic Hotline.
