The first workshop of the TRE group is focused around the theme of »Transnational Infrastruc-tures and Public Spheres« and explores the multiple ways that radio’s technical and institutional structures configure, address and involve their publics. A central issue is how transnational me-diascapes, changing technologies and new ideas of public participation have shaped the notion of ‘public service’ from its emergence in the 1920s through to the challenges of the future. These is-sues will be explored through knowledge exchange with experts from the European Broadcasting Union, as well as through artistic experimentation together with the Ars Acoustica Group. Besides looking at the transformation of the medium, special attention will also be paid to the infrastruc-tures of access to the past. This will include the LARM.fm CHAOS audio archive platform which will be further developed for the TRE project, alongside other models, platforms and challenges of access to past material of transnational scope.

Sesssion 1-3 are open to the public, unless indicated otherwise.
