take over systems, connect systems


' Radio FRO Radio FRO

After a time of experimentation streaming media projects are entering a new phase: the aim now is to set up preconditions and spaces for creativity and artistic activities. The yardstick for this will be continuity and presence—conditions that have been almost impossible to fulfill up to now. The failure has typically been connected to a shortage of resources, but collaboration and link-ups with functioning production and publication entities make it possible to offer quality, continuity and alternatives. take over systems, connects systems is the motto and the appeal issued to organizations, individuals and initiatives to start discussing and establishing concrete collaborative ventures.

The international meeting focusing on

  • Open Circles: technology/ formats/ sustainable networking

  • On-Air Festivals: airchecks on radio for action initiatives, minorities and young people

  • Cultural Channel: managed artist project
will feature speeches and project presentations dedicated to a variety of issues including automatic publishing systems, multi-streaming solutions and systems of international program exchange. Cultural Channel, an internationally-operated “independent net.radio and video programming” platform (concept: Honor Harger and Adam Hyde), will present a functioning collaboration model. The objective is to initiate a research and development process to give greater visibility to art and cultural streaming content in the Internet. The Cultural Channel will be launched in conjunction with Ars Electronica and continued after the festival as a managed artist project.
