An einem Lockdown-Januarnachmittag treffen sich Anna Bromley und Anke Hennig im Park. Ihre Begegnung datiert sich auf etwa ein Jahr nach dem Erscheinen der von Anke gemeinsam mit Armen Avanessian geschriebenen um als Duo bei Merve erschienenen Bücher I-I. Spekulative Poetik von Feminismus, Algorithmik, Politik und Kapital und ONE + ONE. Spekulative Poetik von Feminismus, Algorithmik, Politik und Kapital. Anna ist neugierig, welche Linien und Begriffe der spekulativen Philosophie aber auch der Alltagserfahrung dieses, in Ankes Worten, „schwerste Schreibprojekt“ aufnimmt. Tune in!
Welche Handlungsformen unterliegen unserer Welt, die durch die nanotechnologische Ausbeutung von Intimitäten als Daten gekennzeichnet sind? Synthetische Technologien gestalten nicht nur unsere Sexualitäten sondern rufen auch Unbestimmtheiten hervor, die queere und hybride Zukünfte beeinflussen können. Wie können wir jene Instrumente imaginieren, um mit den biochemisch geleiteten Veränderungen umzugehen? In Lautstrom #67 reflektiert die Künstlerin über ästhetische und spekulative Sprachen, um unseren Zugang zu Technologien entstellen. Es geht um jene impulsiven, poetischen und monströsen Kräfte, die uns über repressive Binaritäten hinausführen könnten: um Verstrickungen zwischen Sexroboter, Bakterien, Meerestieren, und Schleim. Und darum, wie Vibratorengeräusche, Silikon und Plastik unsere Körper und Geschlechter entfesseln – also um es mit dem Titel von Johannas jüngster Arbeit auszudrücken – um 'Molecular Sex and Synthetic Love‘.

When writing about his vision of free “schizo-poetic” radio-articulations in 1977, psychiatrist and writer Felix Guattari had ways of speaking in mind, that “put in doubt a certain conception of (..) the journalist”. That`s why the bogeyman of free radio is often seen in the BBC presenter. But what makes the BBC presenting style so specific? Reboot.fm`s Anna Bromley invited art journalist, podcast producer and presenter Arsalan Mohammad to share tracks, narratives and stories around BBC-voices. The hour-long talk revolves around implications of RP accents, the politics of regional accents in the mainstream media and finishes off with a Venetian bind. Arsalan contributes to a number of publications, including The Art Newspaper, Artnet, GQ and many more. Originally from the UK, he is based in Berlin. Arsalan’s podcast David Bowie: Albumtoalbum is available on the Apple Podcasts store and via “Arsalan.online”.
In the summer of 2015 Jana Sotzko and Anna Bromley met actor and playwright David Dontoh in Accra. As David Dontoh happened to be the president of the Ghanaian Concert Party Union he told us how this became to be a popular performance style interweaving Anansi folk tales with early Jazz styles and elaborate forms of Stand-up comedy. Tune in, and listen to how the sung stories of the 1920`s evolved to the orchestral story-telling of Bob Cole and others, and then to the National Drama Studio, how it distinguished from Highlife and took the form of “Afternoon Jumps” and the celluloid transformation within “The Road to Accra”.
(Includes the track: “Edwen de ere ye me” by Bob Cole, from his album: Highlife Akwantu”.) Presented by Anna Bromley.

Tune into the 60th edition of LAUTSTROM! Anna Bromley invited art critic and writer An Paenhuysen who has a specific sensitivity for flash stories. As 60 minutes do not really make a short format, the broadcast will present a cut-up of half-thoughts, and day book entries that revolve around glamour, silliness, and writing as such. Can`t imagine what cut-up-listening feels like? Stay tuned, and find out!
