MISSION
LOOKOUT FM is a West Coast terrestrial radio home for the broadcast of "transmission art:" experimental audio composition, modern serials, data sonification, radio plays, multi-day compositions, and radio-centric performances. Our fully licensed stations in Burbank, Hollywood, and Pacific Palisades function as FM exhibition spaces where radio art is presented without regard to constraints of time, structure, or commercial consideration.
Radio is a public utility, and as such should be a platform for public art. We aim to foster an interest in artistic and abstract uses of the public airwaves among the diverse communities of Southern California and beyond. Our goal is to encourage artists to create and broadcast original works on the FM electromagnetic spectrum in Los Angeles by providing the necessary context and support for transmission-based projects.
PROJECTS
LOOKOUT FM broadcast a site specific performance by Villa Aurora artist-in-residence Biliana Voutchkova at the Museum of Jurassic Technology. Listen to it here.
LOOKOUT FM debuts a new limited-run series commissioned by Fulcrum Arts on September 15. It’s called Fundamental Resonance.
Listen Sundays at 4PM PST - online here or on the radio at KFQM-LP 101.5 FM Pacific Palisades.
The LOOKOUT FM artist residency, graciously funded by the Mike Kelley Foundation, commissions ambitious, large-scale, original artworks for radio broadcast. Our first artist-in-residence, Nour Mobarak, begins her tenure September 26. Learn more about it here.
