FROM TECHNOLOGY TO THE LIVGING
FROM TECHNOLOGY TO THE LIVGING
a radio show / podcast on Radio Poush
by CRO: Félicien Grand d'Esnon & Alexis Loisel-Montambaux
2021 - 2022 / ongoing
SENSATION is a podcast on Radio Poush exploring ultra contemporary art with a multisensorial and interdisciplinary approach. It focuses on our mutating world, the relationships between technology and the living, as well as scientific and philosophical findings.
Each episode is a sensorial portrait of our guests: artists, curators and researchers, who have close interests and sensibilities to our own curatorial fields of research.
The discussion is punctuated by explorations of our senses through:
- the consumption of food and beverages selected by CRO, as to echo the artistic approach of our guests
- the listening of non-verbal sounds selected by our guests
- the narration of anecdotes related to the touch
