Testuo Kogawa
Kogawa introduced free radio to Japan, and is widely known for his blend of criticism, performance and activism. He has written over 30 books on media culture, film, the city and urban space, and micro politics. Most recently he has combined the experimental and pirate aesthetics of the Mini-FM movement with internet streamed media.

Kogawa has led artist workshops to build Mini-FM and microradio transmitters in Canada, US and Europe, and has recently combined the experimental and pirate aesthetics of the Mini-FM and microradio technology with internet streaming media in such projects as Radio Party, Radio Kinesonus and Translocal Palimpsest. Hir radio art works can be found at- http://anarchy.translocal.jp/radioart/tetsuo_radioartperformance.html
