>your radiostation, club or internet café!
>"Liberté, fraternité, egalité": Referring to the simplicity of this old

>September -- Radiotopia.
>It's open air for your contributions.
>Raise your voice, record it, and send the soundfile. There are no 
>commercial or
>ideologic goals, this is far more an artistic project commissioned by the 
>Ars
>Electronica Festival 2002 and co-produced by ORF Kunstradio, Vienna.
>A documentary CD, the websites created in the course of the project, as

>Radio, the internet, electricity, as well as music, literature, and fine 
>arts
>etc. are communication tools meaned to be used by the people. Let's do it!

>RADIOTOPIA
>on air - on line - on site
>
>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digital age, it is often dismissed as an outdated technology, and yet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 ARS ELECTRONICA FESTIVAL 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), Internet (live streams, files,
>images) telephone, fax
>or send your texts/poems/statements (in all languages) in a written form 
>to:
>
>- 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, 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 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....
