Rama/Platoniq.net: Burn Station

Burn Station - Held by Rama/Platoniq.net
30th March 2006

Burn Station is a mobile copying station which - as it travels through suburban spaces - supports the free distribution of music and audio. Above all it is a social event which congregates people together for listening, selecting and copying net label and net radio audio files with a Copyleft Licence. Burn Station is an open-source, non-commercial project involving the new means of free networked distribution. It is based on the Burn Station software which was developed by Platoniq and Rama as a 100% free software. Burn Station aims to establish links between the media space and the physical space of the city.
