SPAIN :
Rivers & Bridges is the second largest art project for the electronic network of
communication, developed by the Ars Acustica working group of the EBU.
This
second edition of Horizontal Radio, included as the first one, on the prestigious
Ars Electronica Festival of Linz, wants to use on a larger way the suggestions
that come from the two words that compose its device on the present occasion.
In this sense, sound artists approached to us in real time through composed
images-extracted from real rivers, while other artists spread their music as a
bridge between several cultures or made it to dialogue through the network of
communication, those rivers that are serving to us for extending bridges. These
networks will be the digital lines of ISDN, conventional telephone lines, the
EUTELSAT CEST satellite that usually is used by the EBU, and Internet.
Through World Wide Web it will be possible to receive live images and sound from
different artists and musical groups involved - to visit interactive projects
linked to Rivers & Bridges on several countries and to consult the documentation
on hypertext that resumes, on SGAE NET, the Spanish WWW-presence in this event.

MADRID :
People present at the Sala Manuel de Falla will receive, sometimes coming on
superposition, sound, visual and textual flow of works of electronic art.
They will watch "performances", like the one developped by the
interpreters and composers Jane Rigler and Rafael Linin with voices, instruments
and live electronics. They will be able to interact with the electronic automaton
SESLA that activates sound and images, drown by the composer Jose Manuel
Berenguer or listening the diverse range of "sound postcards" that come to us,
through satellite. This will offer for the Spanish representation a very rich and
wide diversity of styles and tendencies.
This edition of Horizontal Radio will carry, from the Central Control of RNE to
the madrilian head office of the SGAE, signals coming from Germany, Austria,
(ORF), Canada (CBC), Slovakia, Slovenia (RSLO), Finland (YLE), Greece, Hungary
(MR), Italy (RAI), Portugal, United Kingdom (BBC) and Switzerland. There will be
the contribution of artists from cities as Belgrade, Budapest, Hamburg, Helsinki,
Innsbruck, Linz, Ljubljiana, London, Rome or Vienna.
The event, generated by a group well engaged in radio art -the Ars Acustica Group-,
can be followed of course by Radio Cl·sica of RNE. And the documentation, shaped
on Hypertext of the Spanish contribution, can be consulted/visited as we said
before in SGAE NET from the end of August.
Different complementary approaches to a horizontal, interactive and multiple
project that shows us the present and approaches to a next future of art in the
electronic network of communication.
