|
|
|
<p>Radio Implicancies is the name of a series of special issues led by
|
|
|
<a href="https://snelting.domainepublic.net/">Femke Snelting</a> in
|
|
|
three consecutive years with Radio/Streaming as an output format.
|
|
|
Participants were encouraged to research and investigate how collective
|
|
|
work is shaped by technical systems through collective making and
|
|
|
listening within their own (small) networks.</p>
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
<p>Radio Implicancies is about practicing interdependencies. About how
|
|
|
to stay with the complex entanglements between the personal, the
|
|
|
economical, the political and the computational. About thinking, using
|
|
|
and making technology with mutual relations in mind.</p>

<h2 id="the-cloud">The Cloud</h2>
|
|
|
<p><em>Floor van Meeuwen</em></p>
|
|
|
<p>During second edition of Radio Implicancies, Special Issue 15, Floor
|
|
|
van Meeuwen created The Cloud, an audio piece in the form of a
|
|
|
self-guided meditation. The piece has a satirical tone, the central
|
|
|
refrain: “see it as the cloud, let the cloud pass by”, cleverly makes
|
|
|
use of the dual sense of cloud as object of meditative release, and as
|
|
|
portal to cloud services. The piece works through a series of everyday
|
|
|
examples, starting from checking the time on a smart phone, that lead to
|
|
|
a spiral of (unintended) engagments and ultimately anxieties created by
|
|
|
the many notifications the author encounters when interacting with her
|
|
|
phone.</p>
|
|
|
<p>The piece was (initially) produced as a stand alone HTML page, and
|
|
|
was later used as part of the 7th collective broadcast, called the
|
|
|
cookbook, which featured a booklet that accompanied the broadcast, and
|
|
|
was published online with a “page-turner” code.</p>

<blockquote>
|
|
|
<p>«I Am Sitting in a Room: for voice on tape»</p>
|
|
|
<p>Lucier’s classic «I Am Sitting in a Room» is a poetic exercise in
|
|
|
concentration. It focuses on a notoriously suppressed phenomenon:
|
|
|
spatial resonance being too self evident to perceive. While Lucier’s
|
|
|
spoken text is heard live through the room’s loudspeakers, he repeatedly
|
|
|
records the sound that stimulates the room’s resonant frequencies until
|
|
|
the text becomes indecipherable. Instead of semantics, the musical
|
|
|
qualities of language surface. The spoken text becomes a libretto,
|
|
|
score, and performance manual in one.</p>

<p><em>Mark van den Heuvel and Tisa Neža Herlec</em></p>
|
|
|
<p>Made during the first edition (Special Issue 12), during the initial
|
|
|
COVID lockdown, the work started with a collective writing exercise on
|
|
|
an etherpad, an interleaved conversation in the form of a cadavre
|
|
|
exquis, one startins a sentence and the other continuing the thought.
|
|
|
The two later came together in a jitsi call to record a re-speaking the
|
|
|
lines that each had written, using etherpad’s feature differentiating
|
|
|
the writing of each author with color, but with the decision to to flip
|
|
|
the script and read each others lines rather than their own. The result
|
|
|
is full of both intimacy, as each imagines inhabiting the others
|
|
|
thoughts, and awkwardness as they often struggle to synchronize with
|
|
|
their collective script.</p>
|
|
|
<p>Like Alvin Lucier’s <em>I am sitting in a room</em>, the piece
|
|
|
creates a soundscape that in its own way resonates with the particular
|
|
|
affordances of the hybrid combination of virtual spaces created by the
|
|
|
writing pad, and by the audio recording.</p>

Radio Implicancies: The Jingle Board Parliament</h2>
|
|
|
<p>For the final edition, <a href="https://issue.xpub.nl/18/">Special
|
|
|
Issue 18</a>, the fourth broadcast took the form of <em>The Jingle Board
|
|
|
Parliament</em>, and which was <a
|
|
|
href="https://issue.xpub.nl/18/04/">published as a sound board</a>.</p>
|
|
|
<p><img src="etherpad-jingle.png" /></p>
|
|
|
<p>The broadcast made use of an <a
|
|
|
href="https://pad.xpub.nl/p/SI18_four">etherpad</a> to organize. On the
|
|
|
pad they invited their fellow radiomakers to contribute not a single
|
|
|
piece, but fragments to be incorporated into a soundboard in the form of
|
|
|
a parliament chart (such as the kind that show the relative
|
|
|
representation of different political parties in an elected
|
|
|
parliament).</p>
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
<p>Our take on this idea of parliament is rooted in the influence that
|
|
|
elements of pop-culture have on politics, and more precisely on shaping
|
|
|
the characters and the voices that then inhabit a parliament. While much
|
|
|
of the politics happens outside of official institutional buildings, yet
|
|
|
the idea of the parliament remains a pure symbol of the place in which
|
|
|
democracy is being performed. This is to give you an intentional
|
|
|
framework that we propose as caretakers, but of course we invite you to
|
|
|
stretch and deconstruct this idea of “The parliament”.<br />
|
|
|
<strong>Also we invite you to not overthink about politically engaged
|
|
|
and great contributions, after all everything is political!
|
|
|
;)</strong></p>
|
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
<p>Note how in this case the sound board was published, rather than
|
|
|
(just) a recording of the weeks broadcast. This was a pattern used in
|
|
|
many weeks, where different formats and structures were explored for
|
|
|
preparing each weeks broadcast, and these systems shaped the webpages
|
|
|
that were published for each week. The etherpads however were not
|
|
|
published, but is suggestive of some useful liner notes to an eventual
|
|
|
publication.</p>
