"Xchange project "Acoustic Space/56h LIVE" at Ars Electronica'98 Festival was first international Xchange meeting in 'real space'. There were around 10 remote and 25 onsite net.broadcasters from all over the world (Zina K.Sydney, b2men/Pararadio/Budepest, Borut Savski/MZX/Ljubljana, Honor Harger/Radioqualia/Adelaide, and many others from Riga, Berlin, Ljubljana, London, Amsterdam, Budapest - participating in this 56h LIVE net.radio broadcasting project.
The idea of the project was to create a live audio environment during the entire Ars Electronica festival in 1998, using real-time net audio technologies (real audio), including an open broadcasting studio in the 'real' space, as well as the creation of a virtual sound environment in cyberspace, involving both on-site and remote participants." src: http://re-lab.net/netradio/workshop01/07/index.html
