Knowing about/along the Mississippi

The Mississippi is a symptom and research object for the study of the human impact on the earth. In June 2018, the project Mississippi. An Anthropocene River, reported on by Alya Ansari on the Anthropocene Curriculum website, was launched in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Ansari’s article visualizes the project’s five field stations and elaborates on how radically academic disciplines such as ethnology, cultural studies and geology must be reconsidered in view of the anthropocene nature of entire topographies.

Human Radio Dials

Around 100 years ago radio began to change our listening habits and revolutionize the cultural technique of transmitting and receiving. Radiophonic Spaces curator Nathalie Singer speaks with sound artist Jacob Eriksen and journalist Elisabeth Wellershaus about the transformation of the medium, the new timelessness of the digital, and Samuel Beckett.

Director Bernd Scherer on the program November/December

Dear Guests,
twenty-first-century humans are constantly “broadcasting.” One hundred years ago, the radio began to completely change our listening habits without our being very aware of it. So now we’re asking: What does the ear know? The Radiophonic Spaces project revolves around aesthetic and political questions of listening knowledge in a present-day shaped by the visual. Visually, the exhibition Humanity at Work explores the question of how humane the current world of work is. Are we only measured by the work we do? Then, what sets us apart from robots? The sixth edition of Technosphärenklänge also explores this question by acoustically staging the relationship between humanity and machines in concerts and performances. Join me in looking forward to the year ending with more—or less—dangerous games.
