The Radio and the Commons is a two-day events programme of talks and a
workshop. The programme explores the power of radio in contemporary
society, and to propose radical ways in which it can be co-opted by the
public in the digital age.
==The Radio and the Commons [talks]==
17.30 - 19.30, Forest Centre Plus, Castle Terrace, Edinburgh
The Thursday evening talks will be lead by visiting artists Roel Roscam
Abbing (NL) [http://roelof.info], and Jack James (UK)
[http://aftersound.co.uk]. Roel will take a historical view of the
political power of radio technologies, and describe how its original
imagined potential as a "mass broadcast medium" has not *yet* been
realised. Jack James will present his work Temporary Local Broadcast,
consisting of conversations recorded with locals during his artist
residency at Metal, in Peterborough, and subsequently broadcast on a
"hyper-local" radio station in the community.
