Show 959: RADioArt Version2024 (by Chuse Fernandez, TEA FM Radio Workshop)
ˈɹeɪdiˌoʊˈɑrt
Radio art is an aural art form made with sound. Artists use radio technology (i.e. radio transmission, airwaves) to communicate artistic compositions for interpretation – exposing their audience to alternate means to experiencing their art through sound verses visualization.
Radio Art contributes to new media art – a digitally driven art movement growing in response to the informative technological revolution we live in. “From the artist’s point of view radio is an environment to be entered into and acted upon, a site for various cultural voices to meet, converse, and merge in. These artists cross disciplines, raid all genres and recontextualize them into hybrids.”
This piece is a compendium of works carried out in the Sound Art course of the TEA FM Radio School held in Zaragoza in the spring of 2023.
Show 958: Coming up for air (Radio Orange 94.0)
by Vienna Radia Collective feat. Stefan Nussbaumer
Oops, something has happened! The microphone fell into the water. Quel Malheur! Thank goodness our special guest Stefan Nussbaumer shrink-wrapped the microphones and nothing happened to them. So, by chance and without intention, exciting worlds of sound opened up that we don’t want to deprive you of. Have a nice summer! (… and happy winter to Sally & Jon!)
A really wet programme by Karl Schönswetter, Stefan Nussbauer, Barbara Kaiser, Barbara Huber, Milada Huber and Nikola Huber.

Show 954: Conversations with My Deepfake Dad: Conversation One by Sarah Sweeney for Wave Farm
Sarah Sweeney’s father died when he was forty-four and she was seventeen. When Sweeney turned forty-four, she wanted to talk to him again. She contacted Resemble AI, a company that creates clones of voices using machine learning, and they worked together to create an AI model of her father’s voice. When this model was completed Sweeney was able to type and speak words into the interface and hear him speak. Conversations with My Deepfake Dad is a series of six conversations created through Sweeney’s interactions with this audio deepfake of her father.
Sarah Sweeney received her BA in Studio Art from Williams College and an MFA in Digital Media from Columbia University School of the Arts and is currently Associate Professor of Art at Skidmore College. She is the creator of The Forgetting Machine, an iPhone app commissioned by the new media organization Rhizome. Her work has appeared nationally and internationally in exhibitions at locations including the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, the New Jersey State Museum, the Black and White Gallery, and the UCR/California Photography Museum. Sweeney is a 2023 Wave Farm Media Arts Assistance Fund for Artists grantee for her project Conversations with My Deepfake Dad. https://www.sarahelizabethsweeney.com/

Show 952: IRC Theatre V3.14 by Pat456 (TT Node)
Irc is what brought P-node together , we were all small entities streaming from somewhere at the break of the century , the chat linked us , we had different servers, different bots , some useful some that made a marasma flood that made communication impossible.
The first version of the Irc theater was an idea developed during our residency in Berlin in 2014 where the idea was to read all comments on our website , via vocal synthesisers on on side on the FM waves of Deutchland Radio Kultur , and a human voice on the AM frequencies used by the same radio.
It was an exit stereo experiment , possible to hear the whole thing with two radios.
https://p-node.org/actions/berlin
As of today P-node still keeps a deep link to IRC , if you log on to the site you will be an anonymous pat15 or pat456. A few members have been developing new irc tools , we now have a control over different stream urls , and a great irc commanded synth that we use during our IRC theater sessions that go on mondays wednesdays and thursdays at 1900 cet on p-node.org
This Radia session will be a small compilation of the first weeks of work from the server recordings.
Feel free to come play with us in the future.
