«Xchange»
Xchange, the net.audio network, emerged from «Xchange on-air session», the 2nd new media festival in Riga «Art + Communication II», which was organised there by the E-Lab artist organisation from November 12 - 14, 1997. In his Xchange on-air session's lecture ‹Acoustic Cyberspace›, Erik Davis explored the immersive qualities of audio-environments, to find out what audio might mean for our experience of the ‹space› of digital networks. His notion of an acoustic (cyber-) space became a guiding idea for the development of the Xchange net.audio network.
The Xchange mailinglist is on-line since December 1997, and so far mostly the re-lab.net team in Riga/Latvia.
