Radiophrenia Redux: Diana Duta & Florence Cats / Charmaine Lee (Audio)
Work 1:
Artist Name: Diana Duta & Florence Cats
Work Title: "Like a telepath"
Description: "Like a telepath" pieces together a week-long journey of remote recordings. 'Emitting' and 'receiving' from a small island and from a city simultaneously, in order to mimic a radio device. To do this, the two artists would start the recording of their parallel transmissions at the same moment in time, using the distance between them as a space to connect. What you hear is a photograph of a thought, a long, windy line tracing a series of synchronous compositions. Cover a moment, remain standing, crumpling paper in your hands. A phone rings – s in the past.
Commissioned for Radiophrenia 2023 with the support of Creative Scotland.

This monthly program features highlights and commissions from Glasgow art radio station Radiophrenia.
Presented on an annual basis, Radiophrenia is a temporary art radio station – a two-week exploration into current trends in sound and transmission arts. Broadcasting live from Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts, the station promotes radio as an art form, encouraging challenging and radical new approaches to the medium. Each year, the broadcast schedule includes a series of newly commissioned radio works, live shows, pre-recorded features and 12 Live-to-Air performances. The majority of the program is made up from selections submitted to an international open call for sound art and radio works. Radiophrenia is managed by Mark Vernon and Barry Burns and is funded through Creative Scotland’s Open Project Funding with additional support from CCA Glasgow.
