[spectre] Particle/Wave workshop during PixelACHE 2005

[juha huuskonen]

Particle/Wave - hybrid radio, be a part of the experiment

More than 20 artists, geeks and activists are converging on Helsinki
from 14-18 April. Bringing extraordinary ideas of how to make radio,
they will be giving the city a new soundtrack, and invite you to mix
it. More than just talk, Particle/Wave will be happening on air,
online, on the street and even on your phone.

During recent years we have seen creative radio disappear from stations
around the world while at the same time net radio, podcasting, mini fm
transmission, pirate radio and hybrid wireless projects have boomed.
It's the future of radio and it's going off with a Bang (Click! and
p.o.p) at Particle/Wave.

"Seeing this grow has been amazing, so many people contributing so many
innovative ideas. People are building accessible tools that let us
broadcast from anywhere we can get a net connection. This has really
opened up new ways of working. It blurs the line between what is and
isn't radio, between who's broadcasting and who's listening :)" radio
artist & director of Particle/Wave Sophea Lerner.
