<p>Radio Implicancies is the name of a series of special issues led by
<a href="https://snelting.domainepublic.net/">Femke Snelting</a> in
three consecutive years with Radio/Streaming as an output format.
Participants were encouraged to research and investigate how collective
work is shaped by technical systems through collective making and
listening within their own (small) networks.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Radio Implicancies is about practicing interdependencies. About how
to stay with the complex entanglements between the personal, the
economical, the political and the computational. About thinking, using
and making technology with mutual relations in mind.</p>

<p><em>Floor van Meeuwen</em></p>
<p>During second edition of Radio Implicancies, Special Issue 15, Floor
van Meeuwen created The Cloud, an audio piece in the form of a
self-guided meditation. The piece has a satirical tone, the central
refrain: “see it as the cloud, let the cloud pass by”, cleverly makes
use of the dual sense of cloud as object of meditative release, and as
portal to cloud services. The piece works through a series of everyday
examples, starting from checking the time on a smart phone, that lead to
a spiral of (unintended) engagments and ultimately anxieties created by
the many notifications the author encounters when interacting with her
phone.</p>
<p>The piece was (initially) produced as a stand alone HTML page, and
was later used as part of the 7th collective broadcast, called the
cookbook, which featured a booklet that accompanied the broadcast, and
was published online with a “page-turner” code.</p>

<p>«I Am Sitting in a Room: for voice on tape»</p>
<p>Luciers classic «I Am Sitting in a Room» is a poetic exercise in
concentration. It focuses on a notoriously suppressed phenomenon:
spatial resonance being too self evident to perceive. While Luciers
spoken text is heard live through the rooms loudspeakers, he repeatedly
records the sound that stimulates the rooms resonant frequencies until
the text becomes indecipherable. Instead of semantics, the musical
qualities of language surface. The spoken text becomes a libretto,
score, and performance manual in one.</p>

the writing of each author with color, but with the decision to to flip

is full of both intimacy, as each imagines inhabiting the others
thoughts, and awkwardness as they often struggle to synchronize with

<p>The broadcast made use of an <a

piece, but fragments to be incorporated into a soundboard in the form of
a parliament chart (such as the kind that show the relative
representation of different political parties in an elected
parliament).</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Our take on this idea of parliament is rooted in the influence that
elements of pop-culture have on politics, and more precisely on shaping
the characters and the voices that then inhabit a parliament. While much
of the politics happens outside of official institutional buildings, yet
the idea of the parliament remains a pure symbol of the place in which
democracy is being performed. This is to give you an intentional
framework that we propose as caretakers, but of course we invite you to
stretch and deconstruct this idea of “The parliament”.<br />
<strong>Also we invite you to not overthink about politically engaged
and great contributions, after all everything is political!
;)</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Note how in this case the sound board was published, rather than
(just) a recording of the weeks broadcast. This was a pattern used in
many weeks, where different formats and structures were explored for
preparing each weeks broadcast, and these systems shaped the webpages
that were published for each week. The etherpads however were not
published, but is suggestive of some useful liner notes to an eventual
publication.</p>
