This is an open invite to use study group ultraCIRCULATION‘s carb-fueled online radio station, called CriTiCal CirCuLATioN MI. Our remix of circulation is an entanglement of content and form, always in motion, a fragrant infrastructure. It offers a channel for anyone of the Ultradependent Public School as well as everyone of the public to play, record, and experiment with online audio streaming as a means of aural play, critical voicing and listening, and propagation.

 

This stream will be available throughout the duration of the exhibition, on this page and via sometimes sonic solidarities with our study partners. All content can be archived and re-blasted for later highlighting via relays to be set up with Stranded FM, lumbung RADIO and Hong Kong Community Radio.

    To Watch the War: The Moving Image Amidst the Invasion of Ukraine (2014–2023) involves a hybrid off- and online sequence of conversations and screenings around discursive and artistic interventions that reimagine the social implications of watching the war through ways that disrupt, subvert, resist the media’s incessant spectacularization of war.
