Radio Astronomy
The Space Station
continuously live, 2004 - now
Radio Astronomy is a major project by r a d i o q u a l i a, which allows listeners to hear astronomical space. It uses radio technology to convert data collected by radio telescopes into sound. It then broadcasts this astronomical audio over the internet and on FM radio. Created in collaboration with astronomers, engineers, and radio stations worldwide, the project enables listeners to tune into different celestial frequencies, hearing planets, stars, and the constant hiss of cosmic noise. It aims to reveal the sonic character of objects in our Universe, and in the process make these phenomena more tangible and comprehensible.

Streamed live in Ogg Vorbis (open codec)
Free Radio Linux was an online and on-air radio station. The sound transmission consisted of a computerized reading of the code used to create the operating system, Linux.
Free Radio Linux was an audio distribution of the Linux Kernel, the basis for all versions of Linux operating systems. Each line of code was read by the computerised automated voice - a speech.bot built by ra d i o q u a l i a. The speech.bot's output was then be encoded into an Open Source audio stream (using the codec, Ogg Vorbis), and sent out live on the internet. A selection on FM, AM and Shortwave radio stations from around the world also relayed the audio stream on various occasions.
The Linux kernel contains 4,141,432 lines of code. Reading the entire kernel took 14253.43 hours, or 593.89 days. Free Radio Linux began transmission on February 3, 2002, the fourth anniversary of the term, Open Source.
Listeners could track the progress of Free Radio Linux by listening to the stream, or checking the text-based progress field in the ./listen section.
