jamming radiophonic space

art@radio is pleased to present "jamming radiophonic space," an international on air- on line- on site event September 3rd from the studios of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in participation with the project RE-INVENTING RADIO a Co-production of Ars Electronica Festival and Ö1 Kunstradio. "We are interested having artists phone in environmental sounds via cell phone during the event. These sounds should deal with notions of connectivity and the current environment in which call originates. If you are interested in contributing to the cell phone part of the event please e-mail projects@joereinsel.org."

"jamming radiophonic space," modulates the interplay of radio, Internet, wireless transmission, and mobile phone signals from public and private space. Live stream: 13:30-00:00 Baltimore, Maryland [GMT "time converted"]

Artists: Goeff Bell, Steve Bradley, Phaye Poliakoff-Chen, Chad Eby, John Hopkins, Brendan Howell, John Hudak, Jacob Kirkegaard, Tim Nohe, Joe Reinsel, Jodi Rose, Bill Shewbridge, Nicole Shiflet, and John Sturgeon

This experientially diverse and geographically scattered group will contribute to "jamming radiophonic space" through decentralized, networked and collaborative strategies of production and distribution. Streaming feeds from microphones placed in and around artists' workspaces will be gathered along with ambient sound called in via wireless and landline phones; requests have already gone out over electronic list-serves for individuals to call in and point their live phones for 10 or 15 minutes toward sounds emblematic of their time and place.

These sonic interruptions will then be mixed and processed into a stream of "hot media" by artists present in the Baltimore studio space using baby monitors, short-wave radios, software and other improvised sound tools. The stream will then be made available worldwide to streaming clients via wired and wireless data connections.
