Programme

Wifio

Lotte Meijer presented Wifio, a hardware device which allows users to 'tune' through the electromagnetic spectrum 'listening' to internet traffic. Wifio is related to a police scanner or wireless 'sniffer' technology. It scans the airwaves looking for information, and present the information back to the user, in sound.

bSites

Sander Leemans and Selby Gildenmacher thought up bSites. bSites is a meta search engine which collects all the possible information that is created on your computer whenever you listen to music via iTunes or WinAmp. bSites then orders this information for you.

Radio-To-Go

Klaas Kuitenbrouwer presented the final results of the Radio-to-Go workshop which Mediamatic organized on the 14th and 15th of February.

Live Radio

Finally Nathalie Bruijs and Sasker Scheerder made a live radio mix of the audio traces left by the callers and avatars of the Girlfriend Experience.
