[Berlin-wireless] Backyard Radio Berlin - at Tesla

[Sven Wagner]

Backyard Radio Berlin
107.9 micro.FM meshwork
12 + weeks on 12 + transmitters
www.backyardradio.de

Backyard Radio snatches the radio from tv towers and broadcasting
agencies and instead of showering down on the city, the radio waves
beam out of the districts and neighborhoods. A liberalization of the law
allows everybody to run a tiny radio transmitter covering the own block
and everyone who passionately cares about her neighborhood adopts
the medium and populates the ether - laptop-workers, street artists,
urbanists, ipod-kids,  DIY enthusiasts,  freelance cyberpunks and
hedonists alike. Not a decadent experiment in self-reference and
individualism, Backyard Radio maintains a collective channel:
This is the place where the sounds of the different neighborhoods
hit each other. Have you booted your node?
