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

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 an ongoing experiment in commoning, radio, ecologies and technologies in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Aotearoa (NZ), based in Haewai Houghton Valley. 
                        By working with radio and FM across place-based communities, we aim to grow a shared practice for creatively testing resilient comms systems and growing learning across neighbourhoods, and beyond.

                        

Why FM?

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