Open Source Sampling is an ongoing project that invites artists to re-interpret the materials gathered at the Irbene dish during the Acoustic Space Lab symposium - for audio, video, and web-specific projects.

The workshop held in Irbene radio telescope in Latvia, in summer 2001 had two goals. The first was to explore the possibilities of creative realizations of a former military, and now civilian scientific device to which artists seldom have access. The dish was used in three main ways, sourcing sounds from the movement of the dish and the forest around it, from satellites and communications in the atmosphere, and from the solar system.

The second was to create a communications network of our own out of the raw material gathered at the dish. For this purpose, the "open-source sampling" was used, which has its origins in the scientific and computer programming communities, where research is shared within a network for the common advancement of the field.

All the material gathered at the dish - audio recordings, data files, photo, texts and video, are uploaded on the server and accessible. The Open Source Sampling Project, initiated by Derek Holzer (Amsterdam), invited artists to reinterpret the material and to add their own thematically related material to the mix.
