Live updates from our radiophonic garden!! 🌱Check radio.robidacollective.com, a very special place for our summer school radio where you can follow us and our daily broadcasts! How to make a website for radio that is site- and time-specific? For this year’s summer school, @k______s_____ and @bnjmnearl expanded the Robida website by creating a dedicated online listening space, specifically for the radio. Questioning the defaults and conventions within internet radio, they wondered: Isn’t it strange how you tune into an internet radio stream by clicking play, as if you start the broadcast rather than join in on something that is already happening? Instead of showing the playtime of the individual user, can we emphasise the place in time within the entire broadcast? How can we bring a remote audience into a site-specific, ongoing broadcast that portrays the passage of time as well as the activity and life of that space? Can we create an online space for a collective experience? For the occasion of this weeklong, 24/7 broadcast, Ben and Kirsten attempted to create a tool for those broadcasting to announce specific moments in between the ambient noise, whether scheduled in advance or happening spontaneously. Working with a lightweight set-up, using are.na and telegram channels as means to update the content, they aimed to create a dynamic space for both ends of the signal — a website that can be easily adapted to whatever may happen throughout the week… Subscribe to this telegram channel to receive updates on when we are broadcasting! 🌀📡🌱🥬 https://t.me/+aATl6XMX4zg5N2I0

Happy to finally dedicate a post to the website we (Ben and Kirsten) designed and developed for Robida, and share some bits from behind (beyond?) the screens. For the latest issue of Robida Magazine on Correspondences, we wrote a piece reflecting on the process, our trips to Topolò, site-specificity in websites, maintenance, and site-writing in between HTML. Head over the robidacollective.com to read the text in the journal and inspect the source code to find our correspondence. The project has been a special one, and we’re very grateful for the insights and friendships we gained along the way. Thank you @r_o_b_i_d_a for having us come and ‘code in situ’! A dopo! ~ (1) a quick stroll around the website, past @sashavanaalst ‘s journal entry on bees, towards the “People” page while glancing at the glossary (2) @bnjmnearl coding at the table of @vidarucli and @aljazskrlep (3)/(4) Topolò on (web)site (5) morning reading spot (6) @jackbardwell on polyrhythms in the glossary (7) one of many walks (8) cascading streams (9) who’s currently in Topolò - meticulously maintained by the members (10) satellite connection to world wide web (11) journal posts that became ongoing notebooks, such as @francescalucchitta ‘s notes on Traces (12) traces of the landscape found their way into the homepage (13) Ben and Vida walking ‘upstairs’ (14) writing into the site (15) find more documentation on are.na…

𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝑻𝒐 𝑺𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆 circles around a longstanding fascination with temporality, documentation and validation. Amidst a pervasive feeling of dischronicity, I have been exploring methods of recording and processing ‘off-time’ through various media, as an attempt to work with time rather than against it. This Friday a cycle of this project will be closed with a performative reading and installation subtitled –𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝑰?, a diaristic work that recollects some remaining fragments of time spent reorienting and overwriting oneself. If you want to join this small finissage, please RSVP via email ([email protected]) or DM, as capacity is limited. Made possible by the generous support of @stimuleringsfonds Creative Industries NL.
