To accompany the exhibition Tidalectics at TBA21–Augarten, NTS broadcasts a radio program created by artists, researchers, and other thinkers and practitioners who cast oceanic perspectives on the cultural, political, and biological dimensions of the seas.

Tidalectics is an experiment to formulate an oceanic worldview, a different way of engaging with the oceans and the world we inhabit. Unbound by land-based modes of thinking and living, the exhibition is reflective of the rhythmic fluidity of water and the incessant swelling and receding of the tides.

A couple of years after the tsunami-turned-toxic disaster in Fukushima, a new island emerged near the archipelago of Ogasawara in the Pacific south of Japan. Shot between the isolated islands of Ogasawara and the contaminated fields of Fukushima, “The Voyage Out” plots speculative bridges between these parallel worlds, as a mutating archipelago. 

2022 is the second episode of “The Voyage Out” radio series and a collaboration with Nuno da Luz and featuring Ayami Awazuhara. Set between the years of 2022 and 2222 the radio series is a sonic exploration of the film to come, as a transmission, as a presage. 

The first episode of the series can be heard in full at r22.fr/son/2222.
