&#322;Open Spectrum&#731; (visit http://openspectrum.wordpress.com/) is
based on the realization that it is no longer necessary for governments to
micro-manage use of the radio frequency spectrum. Digital devices like
cellphones, RFID chips and Wi-Fi cards are smart enough to do that on
their own. The relaxation of bureaucratic controls is now allowing new
wireless
applications to develop. At the same time, the logical progression of art
from permanent objects to temporary installations suggests that the
creation of ad hoc social channels is the next important step for artists
to explore. Let us discuss &#322;open spectrum&#731; and weave these
converging threads together.

Co-Chairs: Pavel Sedlak (CZ) and Robert Horvitz (USA)
