The very best of Ars Electronica 1979 - actual
Open Air – A Radiotopia
on line - on site - on air
www.aec.at/radiotopia

Radiotopia, a space created out of radio waves and data bits as a global network of artistic communication … streams of sound, voice and music whose paths cross simultaneously at several locations, where they are remixed and continue their journey in the company of new traveling companions or mingle as virtual sound-tourists amidst the local soundscapes.
In this project launched by Ars Electronica, artists of every stripe and flag will comprise the network’s nodes and segments in every imaginable form. Any available medium is permissible: satellite, ISDN live hook-up, mp3, streaming, telephone, CDs and tapes snail-mailed in, scores or texts submitted by fax, letter, postcard ...
In view of the generally very negative reception that has been accorded to globalization and globally networked linkages, Open Air – A Radiotopia was initiated as a countervailing model that quite intentionally takes up the “old” idea of the open network. The model of art organized in geographically dislocated fashion becomes a model for local reception in the urban domain realized at the diverse venues at which Open Air is present via soundstreams and sound waves—on Linz’s Main Square by means of a world map, the acoustic background of which consists of the sounds being fed in from throughout the world that can be heard by means of stereoscopes, via Klangpark, at a soirée in the Brucknerhaus, and during a long night of radio art.

Artistic direction: Rupert Huber
The idea of this project was shaped in many discussions between Rupert Huber, Gerfried Stocker, Andres Bosshard, Elisabeth Zimmermann.
