Artist BioNews Body will create a site for mobile, roving broadcast that brings live interviews and reporting as well as production training to any site, event and community in southern California. Operated by KCHUNG collective members, News Body creates a moveable signal, a hyper-local live radio transmission for listeners within a one mile radius of the vehicle. In addition, News Body will make KCHUNG’s site-specific programming accessible to a worldwide audience through online audio streaming, on-location and in real time, as well as by producing in-depth news programs and building a searchable online archive of past programming. News Body will create opportunities for spectacle, performance and live engagement that imagine new uses and definitions for news in our communities.
