Neurotransmitter

Founded in 2001, neuroTransmitter is a radio collaborative utilizing analog communication technologies. Working specifically with radio machinations, neuroTransmitter propels signals through urban membranes and cellular formations. To complement their fixed and mobile frequency performances, nT creates radio-sonic installations, produces music, and converts utilitarian objects into radio transmission and receiving devices.

neuroTransmitter has created visual works, performed, and broadcasted live on local bandwidths in public spaces and galleries throughout New York City; Columbus, Ohio; Helsinki, Finland; Aarhus, Denmark; and Madrid, Spain. nT is currently a collaborative-in-residence with the research and development program at Eyebeam, NYC. The group was co-founded by Angel Nevarez, a multimedia artist based in New York City whose artistic practice incorporates critical models and investigations of history, identity, and representation; and Valerie Tevere, an Assistant Professor of Communications at the College of Staten Island/CUNY whose artistic work explores to the public sphere as a condition and framework for inquiry and discourse.
