<div class=""><tt><b class="">µFM - Hybrid analogue and digital
MicroFM radio broadcast workshop for raspberry pi<br>
</b></tt> <tt><br>
</tt><tt>During the last past years, the radio world has witnessed
the rise of numerous initiatives related to the hybridization of
traditional radio means with digital standards and systems,
nourishing and renewing the classic radio-amateur practises and
approaches </tt><tt><i>such as pirate satellite brazilian
radios. [1.] </i></tt><tt>But even if technical protocols
such as Software Defined Radio (SDR), streaming and p2p
decentralized practices have opened new perspectives, it is
mostly the recent new political approaches of radio, such as
Kogawa’s MicroFM</tt><tt> or the Telecomix Internet radio
initiative [3.</tt><tt>] that have unveiled new exciting
territories. Nowadays, radio is -in its digital transformation,
far from the unidirectional relationship with the listener of
the FM band. It is open to very local broadcast and wild
transmissions over large spectrum, carrying both sounds and
data, and offering to rethink its architecture on the principles
of rhizomatic and meshed networks.</tt><tt> Following the Π-Node
experiments [4.</tt><tt>], this workshop proposes to explore the
use of RTL-SDR antenna</tt><tt>s, </tt><tt>primary conceived
for TNT television reception [</tt><tt><i>dongle based on the
RTL2832U chipset [5.]</i></tt><tt> </tt><tt>and subverted to
the reception of various signals from the radio spectrum from
20MHz to 2000MHz.</tt><tt> </tt><tt>The antenna will be
receiving waves of data messages, encoded through Minimodem [6.</tt><tt>]</tt><tt>.
A Raspberry Pi will be transformed in a radio transmitter, using
the GPIO 4 and the PiFM software [</tt><tt><i>7.</i></tt><tt><i>]</i></tt><tt>
Participants will use and connect those tools and techniques, in
order to create a chain of radio data relays, and trying
ultimately to subvert it by various means (radio interferences,
sound transformation, data capture and text substitution, etc…).</tt><tt><br>

</tt><tt><b>Monday 18th July 2016, <br>
7pm to 10pm </b></tt><tt><b><tt><b class="">@LimeWharf<br>
</b></tt>On the hybridisation of digital communication
networks and analog radio protocols <br>
</b></tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>This talk aims to introduce a few chosen actual digital
radio infrastructures, networks and initiatives in the
perspective of artistic practices. Starting with the very
beginning of the amateur radio movements that have emerged with
the radio itself, the talk will also cross roads with the birth
of offshore pirate radios, the movement of radio libres and
their connection with the minitel in Paris and Bologna, Max
Neuhaus, John Cage and the experimental uses of radio in sound
arts, optical network of data transmission in Czech Republic,
the Frei Funk movement in Germany, micronations and data
heavens. The talk will end with a presentation of various actual
approaches of radio, from the realms of miniFM to the
communication networks of high-frequency trading.</tt><tt><br>
