Lecture and performance session "Waves: Scanning" is the first intro-project of
the next "Art+Communication2006: Waves" festival. It will focus on one of the most current domains in the research and creative experiments on electromagnetic
waves - scanning of the radio frequencies.

Since more than 100 years, electromagnetic waves have been used for
communications - from the wireless telegraph, radio and television to
satellites, mobile phones and wireless technologies.
International exhibition "Waves" that will take place in Riga in 2006, celebrating the 10th anniversary of International festival "Art + Communications", will reveal the rich traditions of the use of waves as a material and media in art and on the phenomena of waves as universal principle.

"WAVES:SCANNING" WILL FEATURE:

LECTURES AND PRESENTATIONS:
-- Armin Medosch (UK)will talk about the "Waves" exhibition concept and will
introduce artists creative experiments in the electromagnetic spectrum;

-- Scanner aka Robin Rimbaud (UK) will present his work from his earliest
controversial recordings using found mobile phone conversations, through to his
focus on trawling the hidden noise of the modern metropolis as the symbol of the
place where hidden meanings and missed contacts emerge.

SOUND PERFORMANCES:
-- Scanner Scanner a.k.a. Robin Rimbaud (UK):  "Scanner traverses the
experimental terrain between sound, space, image and form, creating absorbing,
multi-layered sound pieces that twist technology in unconventional ways";

-- Clausthome (Lauris Vorslavs, Girts Radzins // LV): "Scanning the waves" can
be seen either as the process for collecting information, or opposite - as
diving into the dimension of radiation far beyond of human impact and
controlled territory."
