Sonic Astigmatism
On November 2, 2016, I had the pleasure of taking part in unschärfen: eine art konferenz, a performative conference convened by Andrea Sodomka and Doris Ingrisch of the Institut für Kulturmanagement und Gender Studies. The conference explored the fuzzy or blurred areas between the production of knowldege in art and science; the expressivity and activity in ambiguous, noisy, unsharp relations and the ways in which such blurring might also be understood as a feminist strategy.
Other participants included Norbert Math, Elisabeth Zimmermann, and Reinhold Bertlmann.
This afternoon event of lecture/performance, demonstration, and dialogue has now been turned into a radio program, airing this Sunday December 4, 2016 on ORF Kunstradio, the radio art program of Ö1, the cultural channel of the national public radio of Austria.
A quick gear plug: the lovely retro mic I used was the Copperphone Mini, independently designed and built by Placid Audio.
