The E-lab, founded in 1996, working in micro-scale level as an independent organisation, soon expanded into a network of project-based organisations, and in 2000 the Centre for new media culture "RIXC" in Riga was established. Started in 1997 with net.radio OZONe, E-LAB quickly developed itself into a pioneer of 'net.radio'. Therefore the main field of RIXC activities are devoted to streaming media development and exploiting its potential in building strong links with other organisations locally, in the region and on an international plane.
