Hi everybody! My name is SCOTT. I am 38 and I live in Melbourne, Australia but I was born in Yarrawonga (that’s also in Australia). I am an artist and a student at RMIT Industrial Design were I’m doing doctoral research. P2P FM is my project.
Name: Scott
Surname: Mitchell
Age: 38
Status: PhD Student
Location: Melbourne (AUS)
Morale: Very good =)
QWill other people be able to hear me talking?
ANo, unless you have some crazy karaoke set-up. The transmitter will only broadcast what is being played through the stereo. If you want to broadcast your voice – DJ style – then you can do this by connecting a mic and mixer to your stereo.
QWill it cost me anything?
ANo, This is free. A transmitter and antenna will be loaned to you for the duration of the exhibition.
QCan I turn the transmitter off?
AYes, the transmitter has an on-off switch, you can stop transmitting at any time (like when you need to secretly indulge in some deeply embarrassing listening).
QWhat if I change my mind?
AYou may turn the transmitter off at any time. If you decide you no longer want to participate, contact me at p2pfm @openobject,org to arrange for de-installation.
QWill it work with my stereo?
AHard to say without having a look, but most stereos (including iPods and computers) can be connected to. This may require a degree of hacking. Make an appointment to discuss.
QYou’re disrupting my favorite FM station! Can you please stop?
AYes, of course, just contact me, Scott Mitchell, at P2PFM at openobject dot org and I will change my broadcast frequency. I have tried to select vacant FM channels but transmission frequencies can sometimes drift or multiply. If the broadcasts are causing you problems then please let me know.
QHow do I participate?
AContact me at p2pfm @openobject,org to arrange for a consultation-installation. If your music device is compatible then a transmitter and antenna will be installed in your studio. You will also be asked to pose for a photo with the transmitter. This photo will be displayed in the gallery along with details of your transmission frequency.
