I hear the ear / of an ancient technology / . . . It is the hiss / of listening— / I did not hear then / that I hear now

︎ Paul Carter, from The sound in between : voice, space, performance, 1993: 7




…looking for the dream submarine


︎ Laurie Anderson, The City: Spending the War Without You, 2021




O vis eternitatis

que omnia ordinasti in corde tuo,

per Verbum tuum omnia creata sunt

sicut voluisti


︎ Hildegard von Bingen,
O vis eternitatis


                       
                    ecologies.fm is a platform for commoning with radio, ecologies and technologies in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Aotearoa (NZ), based in Haewai Houghton Valley
                        By exploring radio and FM poetically through creative, place-based projects, we aim to grow a shared practice that tests resilient systems and connects learning across neighbourhoods, and beyond.

                        

Why FM?


Low-power FM radio offers a powerful and resilient way to communicate when Wi-Fi or mobile networks go down. Community-led experiments with FM are vital for disaster readiness, enabling fully offline communication.
