SYNAESTHETICS: do ears have eyes?

This month, we're celebrating the One Year Anniversary of EARS HAVE EYES! We started imagining this radio show during The Hibernation Project (our annual collaborative wintertime art series) as a response to the global pandemic and subsequent social distancing. We were trying to figure out ways to share art spaces that don't require physical proximity between people, but could still feel intimate.

As we see it, radio is one of the most intimate mediums. It arrives in your ears as clear as a whisper, without sight - or rather, with incidental imagery, whatever your eyes happen to be seeing (for those of us with vision) at the moment of reception. We love the act of turning on the radio and arriving in a temporary world, intersecting with whatever’s going on already. How do we look with our ears, and listen with our eyes?
