Michael is currently the artist-in resident for the Electronics Residency at the Centre For Art Tapes in Halifax, NS, where he will be exploring the many uses of short-wave radio as a tool for both disseminating and monitoring social and political messages, and it's role in the formation of (and impact on) social networking today.
