SPECTROGRAPHY is collaboration between the RIXC Center for New Media Culture in
Latvia and Ellipse artists organisation in France, which includes organising of
the sound art residency programme RIX-STUDIO and international symposium on
SPECTRUM CARTOGRAPHY.

The RIX-STUDIO will be located at the interesting art venue - the gallery space
of Point Éphémère, on the Canal Saint Martin in center Paris. During the time
period from October 25 - November 20, 2005, the RIX-STUDIO will host 2 groups
of residency artists from Latvia and France. The specific task of residency
include experimentation with mapping, radio waves, spectrum, mobile and
location based media and to prepare audio content for live streaming
performances.

>From November 4 - 6, the culmination event of the residency project - the
international symposium with participation of Latvian and French artists, as
well as international remote speakers (via internet) is set to take place in
RIX-STUDIO at Point Éphémère and online. The symposium will be focusing on
setting up the context and creating the conceptual / theoretical background for
"spectrum cartography" related thematics.

"Radio spectrum is an internationally shared resource, which is becoming
increasingly crowded and contested. Spectrum is the essential resource of all
wireless communications technologies from wifi to satellites, but the space
available for human communications and observation of non-human generated waves
is continually challenged. Availability of spectrum is managed by international
and national bodies in an attempt to contain interference between systems, and
to control access to the means of communication. [..]

In his discussion of the electromagnetic properties of electronic objects,
Anthony Dunne describes the electromagnetic/ radio dimension as extending the
boundaries of visible space: "Although when we look at an electronic product we
only see what is radiated at the frequency of visible light, all electronic
objects are a form of radio. If our eyes could see (tune into) energy of a
lower frequency these objects would not only appear different but their
boundaries would extend much further into space, interpenetrating other objects
considered discrete at the frequency of light."
