Friday begins with an afternoon symposium on current radio projects in art. Curator Huib Haye van der Werf talks about the ‘The Voice of West’ internet project, which functions as web-radio archive for the mapping of local socio-cultural changes. Artist Ernst Markus Stein introduces DIY Church, an open internet radio project designed as an online sculpture. Philosopher Marc Schuilenburg gives a lecture on sound that materializes in space. The afternoon symposium will be moderated by Catherine van Campen,program maker for Dutch broadcaster VPRO’s De Avonden.
The afternoon concludes with the premiere of artist Jeremy Evans (London) radio adaptation of his performance on the impact of the Internet on the persistence of myths and the way we tell stories. Evans is in Rotterdam at the invitation of TENT and Camden Arts Centre London. In TENT the radio adaptation of his performance ‘The Hyperlogical Mythology of Things Tells Tales of our Ancestors’ will take place. Jeremy Evans on the performance: "As we further the scientific explanation of our existence the less we require mythology. This work is an exploration of that attitude and of how the structured argument appears to offer a truth, of how fact and fiction are easily intertwined online where there exists an equality of importance."
The mini-symposium and radio performances will be streamed live on the art blog This Is Tomorrow and can also be heard at TENT and Camden Arts Centre.
