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

︎ 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

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.
