003 Radio (Study) Day

For their Radio (Study) Day from Wysing, Summer artists-in-residence Henna-Riikka Halonen, Evan Ifekoya, Lawrence Lek and Laura O’Neill took radio broadcasting as a starting point for exploring the potential of the listening subject. On the day itself, the artists took over the Wysing homepage and streamed audio and video for five hours. The audio was later broadcast on London's Resonance FM. More details of the event can be found here.

003A Lawrence Lek – Sino-Futurism

Sinofuturism is a video essay combining elements of science fiction, documentary melodrama, social realism, and Chinese cosmologies, in order to critique the present-day dilemmas of China and the people of its diaspora.

003B Laura O'Neill – Bending Over Backwards

A new work described as "pure presencing affecting affectable bodies; a mapping of rhythm interspersed with film, curved down with soft selves/around the bend". Bending Over Backwards features a mixed sourced text from poet Greg Nijs.

003C Henna-Riikka Halonen – Pareidolia

A new work where the writing and re-writing of a film script and a soundtrack becomes a spatial play with walls and borders, teasing out the universal through the personal. Confusing time zones, truth and fiction in order to grasp the ever unreachable right now of right now, Pareidolia is a search for an image or imagination in a realm where the only sense we have is hearing. Featuring Dr Jeanette Baxter and artist Arnaud Moinet.

003D Evan Ifekoya – This Catalog of Poses

A radio play-in progress exploring the daily lives of four figures in a photograph, some of whom are more alive than others. Beginning at a spectral house club night in London, the characters dialogue across time and space as if inhabiting the past and future simultaneously. Original score devised in collaboration with aigrefou (Netherlands/Morocco).
