Ref. No. 071317100: The ether is free, by a people of oscillators.

26 minutes of fictive radioscapes that recall shortwave dérives and the sound of the ionosphere doing its own thing. Peopled by chirps and chatter, radio ‘static’ reveals an electromagnetic wilderness, traversed by spectral voices, stray ciphers and peeling heterodyne tones.

Released as a build-it-yourself FM radio transmitter kit, including custom printed circuit board, electronic components, assembly instructions, essay, and a digital download code, all enclosed in a laser-engraved tin and by which the sound therein is intended to be broadcast-- re-transmit for accurate delivery. Limited edition of 50.

"Recourse to the analogue, the material, or the otherwise-networked isn’t a sentimental move. It’s tactical, speculative. A quiet exit from the overcoded grid..."

Ref. No. 552387608: (Slow) Poems for Humid, by Hà Cái. 5" x 7" hand-numbered matte postcard, with download code for full 2-track release. Limited edition of 50, and first in the Dispatches series.

Queasy urban erotic, bromeliad. Summer nights. Signal lights bloom; smear in the muggy haze. Cracked concrete and lurid, sweltering neon, street life sweating a vaporous jazz. Sensuously leaning. Throwing up.

"Food Not Bombs is a non-hierarchical international movement for food security. Anyone can use the ‘Food Not Bombs’ slogan for the purpose of providing free food to the public. The movement started in 1980 in Massachusetts, with activists providing people with food under an ethos that opposed war, poverty, and the destruction of the environment...

In Ottawa, a local chapter has launched different initiatives by different activists off and on for the past decade, including in 2013 when the group would also cook at the Carleton Food Collective’s kitchen and serve in Dundonald Park on a weekly basis.

In the 2020 iteration, the group collects donations of perishable food from local grocers that would otherwise not be sold. The food is cooked and frozen at the kitchen, and prepared for delivery. The group announces available meals through an online form that simply asks for the order quantity and delivery instructions for the drivers. Income and housing status are purposely absent from the meal request forms that are shared over their social media."

A group of four volunteers with the Ottawa chapter of Food Not Bombs are loading a van from the Carleton Food Collective’s community kitchen in early February. In the van, the crew loaded up a large cardboard box of premade sandwiches, a bin full of plastic bags of personal hygiene products and wa...
