| <nettime> petition to save cultural programs on Austrian National Radio (ORF) |
Dear Nettime, The Austrian National radio is in the process of removing multiple cultural programs from its public broadcasting in what looks like a move to flatten the dimension of public programming altogether. The directors are completely cutting projects such as Kunstradio and Zeit-Ton, that have been respectively producing programs of radio/transmission art and new music for decades. Started by Heidi Grundmann in the late 80's and directed by Elisabeth Zimmermann since a decade or more, Kunstradio (http://kunstradio.at) is 30+ year old beacon of cultural, experimental, and radical activity on the airwaves and beyond. It is no doubt a space and environment where many nettimers have made projects. The late artist and early nettimer, Robert Adrian X, was also heavily involved in the ongoing development of kunstradio online, spearheading early web and streaming projects as well as its web archive (the ongoing retro html1 aesthetic is a salute to his media philosophy and ethics).
