Podcast: “Scripted Reality” for Co—
Originally recorded for the Co- 24 hour radio broadcast, aired at Supernormal festival 4–5 August.
When reality seems to shift so quickly, and with such little concern for what so-called objective truths, what is the point of critiquing the institutions that produce it? For some time I have been interested in how infrastructures have helped shape this new environment; more than just abstract systems, becoming instead political, narrative and conditioning devices scripting realities. Here, I talk about how these entanglements of narrative and politics intersect especially in art.
