TBC radio : too/two short cuts
radia #335 castration radia + radia #329 TIK bratislava shortcuts
[pls. scroll down for english version]

kürzen, bitte. auf zeit.

zunächst etwas unfreiwillig, insofern slobodan kajkut das radia-format absichtsvoll stutzt, so dass es im nachhinein noch eine verlängerung braucht.
im anschluss jedoch als erprobte strategie – wobei abkürzungen durchaus eine unvorhergesehene eigendynamik entwickeln koennen.

was den "too/two short cuts" gemeinsam ist: in beiden fällen wird zeit gebeugt und transformiert.

TBC radio : too/two short cuts ist eine ausstrahlung aus dem zeitforschungslabor.

cuts make it shorter. but what about cuts in time – against time?

first they come undesired. slobodan kajkut does a short cut for radio. however, his piece is too short. thus we'll need some time fill the gap:

"'Castration Radia' and is 20 minutes long. The length of the piece is a part of its concept, that deals with the issue of format radio: The Radia shows are normally 28 minutes long, so that the broadcasting machines and organisational structure of the different broadcast stations can handle all the shows easily. So the question arose, how Radia would handle these remaining 8 minutes […]" [R.H.]

but then there are also short cuts we're longing for. as those we happily found in bratislava:

"in march 2011, members from of TIME INVENTORS' KABINET (TIK) met in bratislava for a week of collective research on radio as a tool for investigating alternate traces of time. we used a wide range of methods (a.o. city walks, field recordings, investigations in individual as well as collective imaginations, deliberate data dreaming) to explore topics like time bending, hazy time, wind time, lichen clocks, ecotime zones, shortcuts
– the latter to become the focus topic for our radio show."

TIK radio 'bratislava shortcuts' is a collaborative effort by
Guy van Belle (BE), Michal Cudrnak (SK), Nina Czegledy (HU), Barbara Huber (AT/SK), Kruno Jost (HR), Marton Andras Juhasz (HU), Michal Kindernay (CZ), Laszlo Kiss (HU), Verena Kuni (DE), and Jürgen Rendl (AT/SK).

TIME INVENTORS' KABINET (TIK)
is a collaborative artistic research project at the intersections of ecology, art, and media,
taking an ecological approach to observing patterns in time and time control systems.
