The electromagnetic goes largely unseen. That’s why there is sore lack of study into the central role radio plays in our use of cities and the shape of them. From the microwave networks implementing high-frequency global trading, to the GSM base stations across so many cell towers and WiFi access points in our homes and offices — radio technology has become integral to the metabolisms within the modern city. The flow of capital now knitted into networked surveillance apparatuses; people with devices hunger for wireless Internet gateways; mapping services whose localisations use beacons from access points; carbon, as the energetic cost of so many data packets flowing across land and sea to watch a video of a 'Pangolin riding a Roomba' uploaded by the kid next door. This lecture by Julian re-imagines both city and citizenship through a history of 'spectrum politics', asking what shape they might take if radio infrastructure were publicly deployed and owned.
Julian Oliver is a Critical Engineer and artist, an advocate of Free and Open Source Software and contributor to initiatives that reinforce rights of privacy and anonymity in networked and other technologically-mediated domains. His works have been presented at many museums, galleries, international electronic-art events and conferences, including the Tate Modern, Transmediale, the Chaos Computer Congress and the Japan Media Arts Festival. Julian has received several awards, most notably the distinguished Golden Nica at Prix Ars Electronica 2011 for the project Newstweek (with Daniil Vasiliev) — device, which allows you to change the text of the news on the way from the media server to the user's screen. Julian has also given numerous workshops and master classes in software art, data forensics, creative hacking, object-oriented programming for artists, augmented reality, virtual architecture and video-game development worldwide.
The lecture will be held in English with simultaneous translation into Russian.
