A curated selection will be presented throughout the regular program of Radio 80000, taking place for one week in February 2021. Also, and with possibilities for further exposure, the contributed proposals will become part of an archive open for future collaborations.
Nowadays the media ‚radio‘ is marked by a disruptive technological change driven through digitalization: Originally characterized by a unidirectional sender-receiver relationship, its current digital nature is based on a bidirectional server-client infrastructure and therefore opens up space for new opportunities. From this initial point onwards, we would like to fuse distinctive formats within the field of visual arts and music by embedding acoustic radio assembling into the digital media ‘radio’. In order to create a non-linear and parasitic program that promotes a highly diverse and non-standardized attitude, regarding length, style, and context.
The presentation of the works will occur as a digital sound festival that infiltrates and enriches the existing structures of the medium digital radio. The individual contributions and works will be embedded and structured around an additional time layer that slightly distorts the 'real-time' of the running radio broadcast. As a result, we would like to present a parasitic radio take-over that intervenes in the inherent linearity of traditional radio programming in its digital context.
PARA is a non-label organization that seeks parasitic cohabitation with other organisms and structures. Focusing on the acoustic field as a point of departure, PARA wants to enable artistic productions beyond the common frame of publication.
Radio 80000 is a non-commercial online radio based in Munich and was founded in April 2015. It functions as a platform, promoting collaboration and cultural expression through music, sound, dialogue, and events throughout Germany and abroad.
