//Wireless Taps & Short Wave Commotions//

Wireless Taps & Short Wave Commotions is an exchange project between Riga
(Latvia) and Rotterdam, consisting of a workshop, a party and a
presentation. The common denominator is an investigation of the
possibilities 'old' and 'new' broadcasting technologies (short wave radio,
streaming media, wireless technology) have on offer for the forging of new
alliances between artists, VJs, DJs, media critics and activists.

Latvian, Rotterdam, and Belgian artists of various disciplines and

Despite the growing use of internet communication, broadcast radio waves
still remain the most effective way of reaching the largest percentage of
the world's population.. The development of radio communication has,
analogous to the Internet, its roots in military technology. Artists,
activists and theoreticians continuously seek new ways to examine different
aspects of the radio spectrum.
