THINGMeeting with Jonathan Jay by The THINGTank Drift by The THINGSpace for a Tactical Streaming presentation. On August 5 (Tuesday), 2003 from 7pm to 8pm THE THING http://bbs.thing.net 601 West 26th Street 4th Fl Between 11th and 12th Ave. New York, New York 10001 Tel: 212-937 0443 Jonathan Jay is a designer, writer, micro-radio networking applied theorist and organizer who has made the small wet city of Seattle his home for the last 24 years. He got his start in pirate radio as an audio collage DJ with PearlJam initiated FUCC 89.1 fm in 1996 and went on to co-found FSR, Free Seattle Radio 87.9. In response to repeated interventions by the FCC and in anticipation of the WTO protests of 1999, he played the pivotal role in starting 'Studio X' an Internet Radio Station, capable of streaming audio to remotely located microFM transmitters. Jonathan also developed the net.radio component of the Indymedia.org's live tactical audio reports of events from the streets of Seattle. Jonathan also started MicroRadio.NET, a website focused on collaborations between 'webcasters' with traditional 'terrestrial' FM broadcasting micro radio stations around the world. Recently, building upon the success of earlier distribution efforts, including a distributed mass action of electronic civil disobedience in fall of 2002 during the National Association of Broadcasters annual meeting taking place in Seattle where more than10 frequencies up and down the FM dial were temporarily 'occupied' . Currently Jonathan is working to develop a model of networked micro-transmitter arrays that could provide city-wide coverage to dozens of neighborhoods on unused or 'open' frequencies on the local FM. http://www.radioproject.org # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
