HEED FM was a work of art by artist Garrett Phelan as part of The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon OPEN CALL - ART 2016 Scheme.
HEED FM was a 28-day anonymous sound broadcast portrait created through conversations with individuals and groups from all backgrounds aged 18–25 inhabiting Dublin. HEED FM took the form of an independent, temporary licensed FM radio station.
The month-long FM radio and web broadcast was a constant stream of conversation without music, advertisements, news, presenters, weather, time or jingles. It presented recordings made over an eight-month period with a generation of young people whose opinions and beliefs are rarely heard in the public domain and who lack national institutional advocacy on their behalf.
HEED FM shunned pre-conceptions and de-sensationalized this generation without judgment, giving time and voice to the ambitions, aspirations and passions of those that took part.
All conversations were facilitated by; Garrett Phelan, Michelle Kinsella, Victoria Evans and Declan Markey.
HEED FM GRATEFULLY ACKNOWLEDGES THE SUPPORT OF
