> Radio in its many forms is still the most globally accessible medium for
> both local and long-range communication and information sharing. In the
> digital age, it is often dismissed as an outdated technology, and yet
> millions of people turn on and tune in worldwide. Despite the current
> configuration of radio (often limited by commercialization and state
> regulation), radio has great potential as a tool that can reach out across
> cities and remote areas alike as a means for building local and
> international community. Transmitters can be easily assembled from readily
> available technologies, enabling radio to operate independently and to be
> community-based, experimental, political; giving voice to those who are
> rarely or never heard in the mounting commercial static of corporate
> globalization. These transmitters may not have a wide range but when
> networked by any and all means available,  their impact can be amplified.
>
> Radiotopia will be, literally, a radio-place; instead of the homogenized
> drone of corporatized globalization, Radiotopia will be the sound of a
> varied world, emanating from people engaged in widely diverse cultural
> practices. Initiated by the AEC and coproduced with OE 1 KUNSTRADIO,
> RADIOTOPIA proposes to create a temporary network aimed at linking
> disparate parts of the globe on many realtime and virtual levels,
creating
> a multi-media network grounded in radio transception (both sending and
> receiving), culminating in a large open-air installation and an overnight
> broadcast (Long Night of Radio Art) during the Ars Electronica Festival
> 2002. The Ars Electronica Center and Festival for Art, Technology and
Society,
> Linz, Austria was established in 1979 as an open meeting-place for
artists,
> scientists and researchers. The Ars Electronica Festival is one of the
most
> important festivals for electronic art and media theory.
> The festival  2002 focuses on the blind spots of globalization with
> UNPLUGGED, a theme indicative of how the issue of the political element in
> art has returned with a vengeance to the agendas of intellectual
> discourse and artistic practice. Artists of all fields and from all over
the world are invited to become
> participants/nodes in this network.
>
> There are many ways of communicating/participating/exchanging: - INPUT:
> Send your sounds/poems/scores etc. in a pre-recorded form to Kunstradio
via
> snail mail (on cassettes, CDs, MDs) or Internet (live streams, files,
> images) or send your texts/poems/statements (in all languages) in a
written
> form to: ORF Kunstradio
> Argentinierstr. 30a
> A - 1040 Vienna
> Austria
> Phone. ++431 50101 18277 or ++43 732 7272 60
> Fax: ++431 50101 18065
> Email: kunstradio at thing.at
> http://kunstradio.at
> http://www.aec.at/radiotopia - TRANSFORMATION:
>
> Become a node in the network by collecting part of the sound inputs from
> the project website, from shortwave services, or from participating local,
> community, pirate or national radio broadcasts, and process/remix these
> sounds to re-input into the network. - OUTPUT:
> Create your on own on-air or on-site version of the project: broadcast
> sounds from the network on your radio station or stream from your website;
> or incorporate sounds into a public concert or installation.
> Combinations of all the above mentioned are possible and very welcome.
> Mixing, re-mixing, re-broadcasting etc may also happen before and after
the
> period of the Ars Electronica Festival) CONTENT:
> All kinds of sounds are welcome; however, to help create the unique
> soundimage of Radiotopia - Radio as a worldwide medium for communication/
> exchange/dialogue supporting and amplifying the often unheard multiplicity
> of voices-- we propose a strong language or vocal element in your
> contributions. Diverse and regional voices also includes the "voices" of
> specific landscapes, cityscapes, and ecosystems around
> the world. We may attempt to classify your contributions on the homepage
of the
> project according to their emotional
> atmosphere, their type of language (human everyday, poetic etc.,
> environmental sounds, urban rhythms etc) to make your contributions easily
> accessible to those musicians, sound artists and radio artists who will be
> composing on-site, on-air and on-line versions of the project during the
> Ars Electronica Festival. You are invited to classify your own
> contribution.
>
> TECHNICAL ASPECTS:
> The main platform of the project will be a website which serves several
> purposes:
> - it will offer informations on the project and depict its progress.
> - it will make all individual contributions accessible worldwide in low
> tech formats and if possible high quality sound formats.
> - it will feature live webcasts and their documentations from all the
> versions of the project rendered on-site and on-air during the festival
> - it will host documentation and archiving of the project, allowing
> interested people to continue mixing and re-mixing beyond the timeframe of
> the Ars Electronica Festival.
> All of the incoming contributions (sound, images, texts), also those
> arriving by letter or cassette, CD etc will be put on this webpage
> and thereby become part of the projects archive.
> The versions planned so far for realisation during the renowned
international
> Ars Electronica Festival (taking place for the 23rd time  in Linz/A from
the 8th
> to the 12th of September 2002) on site:
> -  specially invited international musicians/sound artists will
> compose open-air mixes using submitted and streamed audio material to be
> presented on a huge loudspeaker system along the banks of the river Danube
> at Linz/Austria, in front of the Brucknerhaus, one of the main venues of
> the Ars Electronica Festival. Webcasts and "soundreports" of these
versions
> will be available on the project website - live and as documentation. on
air:
> -  an overnight radio art broadcast live on the National Austrian Radio on
> the September 10th (11pm CEST - 5:00 am CEST) will have artistst/musicians
> present in the studio composing your contributions into a very unusual
many
> hours long radio-event. This event will be streamed live online and
> documented afterwards. on line: (as above)
> The on-site and on-air events of/at the Ars Electronica Festival will be
> webcast and documented on the website of the project, which will become an
> archive of all submitted contributions, as well as their different uses in
> either the installations or the radio broadcasts by fellow artists during
> the festival and after.... --
