This Time It Is Public: DAI in the Air
DAI at Resonance FM radiostation in London
Tuesday September 7th; 19 PM till 20.30 PM
On Tuesday, the 7th of September 2004, the DAI was invited to do a live broadcast in the well-known ‘Clear Sport’ of London’s art radiostation ResonanceFM.
This DAI-ResonanceFM collaboration was co-ordinated by John Heymans, essayist and DAI-mentor, and Knut Aufermann, managing director of ResonanceFM and DAI-guesttutor.
Aufermann is a soundartist and a member of the London Improvising Orchestra as well.
After a short introduction by John Heymans the following DAI-students did a live improvisation with pieces of a London soundscape recorded by minidisks: Sjanet Bijker, Gerco Lindeboom, Paul Segers, Ajla Steinvag and Julian Scaff.
After this improvised soundscape Kodwo Eshun, essayist and DAI-guesttutor, did a live interview with DAI-students Tracey Prehay, Rongman Hong and Bruno Anedda about their experiences and works during the Big Communication (see http://archived.dutchartinstitute.eu/dainaiproject/), DAI’s five weeks stay in Nanjing (China). The interview was illustrated with soundtracks made in the Nanjing soundworkshop by DAI-guesttutor James Beckett and the Nanjing workshop ‘The Art of the Essay Film’ by DAI-guesttutors Kodwo Eshun and Anjali Sagar. The text of the documentary workshop was published afterwards in DOTDOTDOT 8 (Summer 2004).
