NEWs on the hour

News on the Hour, performed and curated by Jay Jermyn, is an ongoing sound and visual performance work that responds to the news live streamed through the internet, commenting on the disorientating constant stream of the news cycle.   

By redirecting the audio from the news to be driven through a series of digital manipulations and music effects pedals, the visual and audio is disconnected; in turn, dissolving all political agendas on the “left” and “right” that alter the true reporting of facts and placing a new authorship on the visual content.  

“News on the Hour” was developed on Residence at The WALLS Art space, Miami, Gold Coast

New’s on the Hour was secondly supported by HOTA, Home of the Arts through the “Rage against the Virus” grant in response to Covid-19 and was presented as a week long live broadcast to instagram with performances by Julian Currie and Shaun Allen.
