Produced by Afroditi Psarra.
Lefteris Krysalis is a radio/sound artist and a freelance researcher. He completed his bachelor’s degree in Art History and Theory at the Athens School of Fine Arts and his M.F.A in Media Arts and Design at the Bauhaus University Weimar in the chairs of Experimental Radio and Studio of Electroacoustic Music. He was a DAAD scholarship holder and project coordinator of the Radio Art Residency Weimar. Currently he is artistic associate in the Experimental Radio chair of the Bauhaus-University Weimar. From October 2023 he will be a PhD candidate at the Bauhaus University Weimar investigating the Soundscapes of Western Thrace through the politics of listening.
The audio piece Soundscapes from Ramallah, Palestine
is an around 51 minutes hybrid between a radio feature and soundscape composition, and in ideal conditions has to be listened to and presented as a sound installation. Processed and raw field recordings together with interviews by people who are living or once lived in the area of Ramallah, are being used to narrate and question the soundscape of the city and its changes due to the political situation and the continuously changing reality.
Curated by Afroditi Psarra, "Transmission Ecologies" explores the turbulent world of radio signals which propagate around us. Each show features a guest sound artist who broadcasts their radio experiments using EMFs, interference patterns from devices, HAM, RF field recordings, satellite signals, space astronomy research, etc. to formulate their interpretations, compositions, and translations of the invisible and unheard layer of telecommunication technologies.
"Transmission Ecologies" is commissioned by Stegi Radio / Onassis Culture.
Afroditi Psarra is a multidisciplinary artist and an Associate Professor of Digital Arts and Experimental Media at the University of Washington where she runs the DXARTS Softlab. Her research focuses on the interweaving of art and science through the creation of artifacts with a critical lens. In her projects she explores energetic phenomena like electromagnetic radiation, and technologies such as radio-frequency sensing, fractal antennas, and software-defined radio. She is particularly interested in the use of the body as an interface of control, and the revitalization of tradition as a methodology of hacking existing norms about technical objects. Her art practice builds on and extends the work of Cyber and Techno-Feminism(s) and the idea of bodies as archives of information, and manifests through e-textiles and wearables, performances, installations and sound art.
She has exhibited her work internationally in venues such as Onassis Stegi, Bozar, Laboral, EMST, Ars Electronica, Transmediale and CTM, Eyeo, Amber, Piksel, and WRO Biennale between others, and published at conferences like Siggraph, ISWC (International Symposium of Wearable Computers), DIS (Designing Interactive Systems), C&C (Creativity and Cognition), and EVA (Electronic Visualization and the Arts).
