Radio_Copernicus, the German-Polish Artist Radio, was a radio station for German and Polish artists. Its airwaves were open to any form of art which uses the medium of radio as a basis for aesthetic and creative activity. The station was conceived as an independent and transnational experiment to focus on artistic and cultural innovations in electronic media and digital culture.

It was on air for the first time at the garage festival 2005 at 93,0 FM 15 July - 21 August 2005 and afterwards went on to Warsaw Autumn, Berlin Festival Dis_Positionen at Academy of Arts and Wrocław, Poland for a month each…

dear friends, 9 years garage in stralsund have been an exciting time
- thank you for your help and support, your ideas and energy. we
decided to stop the festival in stralsund next year. apart from
several formal reasons and the massive spatial changes on the harbour
island, it is first of all important for us to think about new ideas
and ways. it would be nice to do this together with you also in the
future. we keep you updated about upcoming adventures and wish you
all the best for 2006.

here you can get an impression whats going on in stralsund right now on the port-island.

Forget It? Get It! was a series of readings (initiated and organised by Oliver Bauerhenn) from short stories, excerpts of novels and graphic theory throwing a light on the different aspects, thoughts and possible consequences of the human impulse to collect and to remember and the ability to forget. This was a daily addition to the topic of the festival inviting several participants to talk about their work in respect to the reading material and also calls upon the audience to share their pools of wisdom.
