karten. kartierungen von klang.

zunächst reisen wir rund um die welt – entlang eben jener orte, von denen aus die stationen des radia-netzwerks senden.
und dann schweben wir in der klangkapsel von silenceradio.org durch den kosmos des projekts "soundscapes forever".

[english]

maps. and mappings. of sound.

a journey around the world. not in hundred days. but for half an hour. from city to city. each of which hosts a radia art radio network partner station:

"The piece is composed of a series of maps that trace a path through all Radia Network stations in Europe. The maps are then encoded to sound through a protocol for transmission of images over radio known as slow-scan television, or SSTV (in this case, Robot 72s Color). The piece re-interprets the solid as air through the processes of encoding, transmitting, receiving and decoding the map. Through this process, the physical and imagined boundaries depicted on the map become distorted through their interaction with the actual space they intend to represent." [T.R.]

afterwards, we'll be floating around in a sound capsule from silenceradio.org through the cosmos of "soundscapes forever".
