In 1963, Robert Filiou declared that art was born on January 17, 1 million years ago. Filiou explained that, inexplicably, on that day, someone dropped a dry sponge into bucket of water. Before then, there was no art. Then, there was.

Unexpectedly, Filiou’s declaration has lived on, and today we celebrate art’s 1,000,051st birthday.

The European Broadcasting Union is commemorating this event with a massive radio project in which twenty-one national radio stations are airing live shows from their studios.

In Estonia, they’re teaming up with world leading Moon-Earth-Moon amateur-radio enthusiasts, no less than the largest music delay block is created out of the … Moon itself.
