Join us on May 21st as Victoria Keddie and Scott Kiernan discuss their E.S.P. TV Coast to Coast tour which included live tapings, exhibitions, screenings and artist talks in more than 13 locations across United States during  April 2015.

E.S.P. TV writes, “Our tour brought us to over 13 locations across the US in April 2015. For this project, a large ENG news van has been outfitted as our modified mobile broadcast unit. The van houses analog and digital broadcast consoles with additional internet and web ready capabilities. Our tour encompasses live taping events, exhibitions, screenings, and artists talks. We have teamed up with both museums, galleries, project spaces, and DIY venues on this tour in the effort to better document the broader spectrum of cultural activity. Over 50 artists are participating in this televisual project, in creating new works with a focus on transmission and simulation. In addition to live performances, we have put together a traveling video program and have invited additional guest curators to program select events on the tour. The event will be both recorded and streamed live, and made available on our website and on our television program. This project will culminate in a feature documentary and accompanying catalogue.”
