BECOMING FUTURES Festival
sound art, radio transmission
APR—2024
On the occasion of Becoming Futures, a festival co-curated by ALMARE, Giulia Gregnanin and Radio Papesse at Timespan (Scottish Highlands, UK), we are delighted to host, just for a couple of weeks, Radiophonic Futurities, a playlist curated by Mark Vernon.
Drawing from the Radiophrenia archives, on April 19th, 2024 Mark Vernon presents a listening session mixing together excerpts from a wide variety of radio works that imagine possible futures through science fictions, technological predictions and revisioning utopian ideals. The mix includes radio plays written by AIs, vintage dystopian radiophonics, experiments with psychedelics and technology, domestic sci-fi, post-humanism and bio-acoustic phenomena. What will the future sound like?
Radiophrenia is an artist run radio art collective and FM station based in Glasgow.
Featuring Alien productions, José Alejandro Rivera, Francis Heery, Catalina Barroso-Luque and Feronia Wennborg, Malcolm Clarke, Astrid Bjorklund, Magali Daniaux & Cédric Pigot, Omsk Social Club, Nicky Stott and Nat Grant with Luc Yong, The Xstatic Tics, Robert Barry, Vernon & Burns, Toni Dimitrov and Julia E Dyck.
Becoming Futures is kindly supported by the Italian Institute of Culture Edinburgh, and the continuous support of the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture as part of the Italian Council (2022), the programme for the international promotion of Italian contemporary art.
