Transforming Freedom is a radar for digital culture
It scans the electronic airwaves for exemplary voices and documents of recent decades and uses the latest technologies to broadcast its own programs.
It examines the background of the major cultural transformations of our time from the perspective of the inventors and originators.
What is it all about?
Transforming Freedom offers significant audios on its Internet platform and invites the key players, theorists, inventors and originators to tell their story from their own point of view and to prepare their own documentation with the support of our team. It lends a voice to those who have lost the browser war, who spoke out effectively against software patents or consider them fair and beneficial for all, who were inspired by the Fluxus movement in the 1970s when they initiated the first net culture server, who introduced the free software approach in multi-million-dollar corporations, or who invented new programming languages. Digital culture was invented for everyone to participate.
We are building up an archive of interviews, focusing on digital culture, it's technical, political, theoretical and artistic trends and historical backgrounds. The interviews are accessible for free as streamed audio files as well as in transcribed form. The next step is to open the archive and provide
the possibility to easily upload new content, to tag and to comment it. This is currently under development.
Which applications are you using?
We are using Drupal as content management system combined with Red5 for audio streaming.
