One of the key aspects of the streaming transmissions is the sudden de-localization of the information, thanks to the net's scattered structure. The latter allows a personal and continue 'international telecast', bringing any local content on screens placed in remote places. This is true for the video and the audio transmissions, where the latter are often specifically rooted in their own territory, expressing a culture that needs a former contextualization and understanding, before being enjoyed. The space the sounds are from is reduced to the (eventual) reference in the software player's title bar, while the data flow is relentlessly filling the buffer and the soundcard's processor before reaching our ears. But the more distant is the transmission's origin, the more fascinating is the chance to hear it. This is the concept that triggers Radio Astronomy, the ambitious project of Radioqualia (Honor Harger and Adam Hyde), realized also thanks to some radio-telescopes around the world. The sounds coming from the deep space are intercepted and decoded by the same radio-telescopes and then channeled in a specific net stream. This stream is able to connect any place connected to the net with the frequencies generated from a substantial distance of many light-years. As the authors define it, Radio Astronomy is "a radio station broadcasting audio from space", and one of its nodal qualities is the possibility of listening frequencies so distant, centuplicating the remote-space effect that we learned from the net.
