Dear All,
below is our announcement for the 4th Radiator Festival, taking place in Nottingham coming January. Some of regular list members have been involved or are currently involved in Radiator and I therefore hope this announcement below is of interest to you.
This coming Radiator is looking at the theme of space, in particular city and how both have changed through digital networks. However, the works presented are concerned with the consequences and effects media technologies have on our physical spaces and interestingly enough, often don’t employ any media technologies of their own.
I'm looking forward to seeing some of you’re here,
Best regards,
Anette Schäfer

In addition to JODI Live lecture, and as part of Radiator’s Digital Broadway Programme, Radiator will present “Geo Goo” on Broadway’s Glass Screen, where JODI uses a process of coding/decoding, and deciphers cryptic data in a chaotic surface to uncover hidden messages in geometric shapes. http://www.jodi.org
