  • Tune (In))): Radio Community in Microcosm Bibliography

    free103point9's Tune(In))) is a multi-channel, site-specific installation of live performance, sound, and video art using FM frequencies that engages listeners as active participants and stages a temporary, autonomous radio community. The text situates Tune(In))) within historical radio-art practices, citing Filippo Tomasso Marinetti's La Radia, Ezra Pound's radio operas Le Testament and Cavalcanti, John Cage's Imaginary Landscape #4, John Corbett's Radio Dada Manifesto and Ben Vautier's 1965 mail art The Postman's Choice. It outlines pirate and microcasting activity from early 1960s European offshore stations to Radio New York International (1987) and the 1990s microcasting campaign led by M'banna Kantako and Stephen Dunifer, noting a watered-down Low Power FM program implemented in 2001.

  • An Open Letter from the Media Equipment Pool Groups

    Videofreex proposed the Mediabus to the New York State Council on the Arts to travel the state introducing people to video; the Council expanded the idea into regional equipment pools and in June 1971 awarded a grant, with the Rochester Museum and Science Center sponsoring the Mediabus and providing a house's first floor for a Rochester Media Equipment Pool. The Equipment Pool acquired hardware and people who could use and teach it (software), ran workshops and short-term loans for documentation, instruction, drama and abstract electronic feedback. The group articulated an ethic of television emphasizing producer control, consent and immediate playback, and assigned legal liability for cable programming to individual producers to guard against broadcast-style censorship.
