Developed for ‘The Living Room’ show curated by Tai Snaith and exhibited at Blindside gallery in the Nicholas Building, Melbourne.
P2P FM is a peer to peer network of mini-FM transmitters installed in the Nicholas Building – each transmitter is connected to the stereo of someone who works in the building. The transmitters broadcast (narrow-cast) whatever is played through the stereo, turning the private listening habits of the various participants into a (limited) public performance – anyone within range of this broadcast (a radius of about 2 or 3 studios/floors) will be able to tune in and listen to what is being played. If the person tuning in also has a mini-FM transmitter installed then this content will be re-broadcast, extending the range of the original transmission – popular transmissions may be propagated throughout the FM network.
