[Nettime-bold] V2_ presents Wireless Taps & Short Wave Commotions


Wireless Taps & Short Wave Commotions

Wireless Taps & Short Wave Commotions is an exchange project between Riga
(Latvia) and Rotterdam, consisting of a workshop, a party and a
presentation. The common denominator is an investigation of the
possibilities 'old' and 'new' broadcasting technologies (short wave radio,
streaming media, wireless technology) have on offer for the forging of new
alliances between artists, VJs, DJs, media critics and activists.

Wednesday 26 and Thursday 27 September 2001, 11.00 - 18.00 hours.

Latvian, Rotterdam, and Belgian artists of various disciplines and

Despite the growing use of internet communication, broadcast radio waves
still remain the most effective way of reaching the largest percentage of
the world's population.. The development of radio communication has,
analogous to the Internet, its roots in military technology. Artists,
activists and theoreticians continuously seek new ways to examine different
aspects of the radio spectrum.

project Radio Jeleni. His most recent project is the Acoustic.Space.Lab, a
