Description:
Part of group exhibition "One Bit Louder, or: The irresistible inferiority of systematic network noise".


frequency clock' is an interdisciplinary project by r a d i o q u a I i a. It seeks to rediscover and enlarge the spectrum of radio art, encouraging interactive and participatory models of cross-cultural and cross-artform exchange. 'frequency clock' comprises an installation, a web project, and a networked broadcast system. 'frequency clock' is a system which integrates internet based radio [or net.radio] with other communications areas, such as sound and broadcast art, installation and hypermedia. 'frequency clock' engages diverse sites in its presentation, simultaneously located on the web and in radiospace.


'frequency clock' involves the establishment of a network of low-powered transmitters placed in communities located around the
world. This global mini-FM network will be connected to the internet. An automated web interface will enable net.radio programmes to be shared and broadcast over the FM network, as well as through existing online networks.


The establishment of a new network does not preclude, or replace, collusion with existing radio and new media entities. In fact the ideas explored within an FM network expand the scope for experimentation across a range of different forms of radio, opening up dialogue between discrete types of communications media, preparing the way for partnerships between diverse tactical media communities.


In this way, collaborations with existing radio and media entities, and the development of a new mini FM network are two parts of the same idea.
