Poly-Sync. A Collective Radio Performance.

Lets celebrate a very special birthday together – 100 years of radio in Germany – and become part of our collective radio performance – 12th November 2020 6–7 pm (CEST):

Wherever you are, go for a walk with your radio – in the city, in the park, in your apartment. If you do not have an old school radio, use your phone and a boombox (if you are not in Leipzig, you will need internet on a smart device to connected to us and get instructions anyhow). Via your receiver you will be connected to us and all the other people who are going for a walk with their radio. Listen to the voices of our four performers (– sorry German), follow instructions (– in German, English, French, Arabic), and synchronise with many others who are doing the same thing at the same time. All can share their experiences during the performance via instant voice messages that will become part of the live broadcast. Tell us how people react, what you do with your radio, what it means to you… Please also film yourself taking your radio for a walk and interacting with it, post the videos under #polysync, #100jahreradio, #anybodyoutthere, send the material to us, and we will share impressions of the collective radio performance online.

The performance will open the exhibition “Anybody out there?! 100 Years of Radio in Germany” of the Gallery D21 in Leipzig. Afterwards Felix Kubin will play while the radios carry his tunes into public space.

Weiße Elster – interactive composition

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
