Imagine the sea full of garbage,
while you travel over the surface of the water,
feeling with your fingers the skin, hair and feathers,
of the death.
Your hands are stagnant in the trash,
stuck in oil like a desperate bird.
Listen how,
listen how the animals are dying,
until you drown surrounded
by a full amount of the extinguished species.
Your skin is just boiling,
falling down apart your bones.
And just in the moment you think this is all,
a gigantic piece of an iceberg comes off
and falls down over us.
The disorders of the weather,
the floods and all our beautiful terms…
GLOBAL WAARRRMING!
CLIMATE CHANGE!
NOOSPHERE!

CTM Radio Lab - Der Tod des Anthropozäns
Deutschlandradio Kultur
March 31, 2017 | Listen to podcast [german version]
Es ist so weit: Die Welt geht unter. Während die letzten verbliebenen Menschen rasch noch ein paar Katastrophenvideos ins Internet laden, besuchen Außerirdische den Planeten.
Sie erklären den Bewohnern was ihnen bevorsteht und wie sie es hätten verhindern können.
Science Fiction wird Geschichte.

CTM Festival: "Today at Universidade de Aveiro in Portugal, our partner Binaural Nodar is launching
the publication of our Sound of Culture, Culture of Sound (#SoCCoS) sound art residency project, undertaken together
with HAIArt (FI), A-I-R Laboratory (PL), and led by Q-O2 (BE. The publication aims to demonstrate what a sound
art residency can mean, and explores the significance of geographical context in art. Over sixty artists and researchers,
both emerging and established, participated in the several artist residencies and research projects, and the book includes
their texts and reflections around sound & culture in today's European context." More info: www.soccos.eu

PROJECT: THE DEATH OF THE ANTHROPOCENE

"Awarded by Deutschlandradio Kultur – Hörspiel/Klangkunst and CTM Festival, in collaboration with Goethe-Institut, ORF musikprotokoll im steirischen herbst, Ö1 Kunstradio, and the SoCCoS – the Sound of
Culture, the Culture of Sound initiative, the CTM 2017 Radio Lab Open Call for works sought unusual ideas for pairing the specific artistic possibilities of radio with the potentials of live performance
or installation, that also explore the CTM 2017 Festival theme: Fear Anger Love."
"The two winning projects will be premiered at CTM 2017 Festival in Berlin (27.01. – 05.02.2017), and broadcast via Deutschlandradio Kultur (March 2017). The works will also be presented by
the Österreichischer Rundfunk (Austrian Broadcasting Corporation) via one of their platforms: the ORF Zeit-Ton or Ö1 Kunstradio shows, or the ORF musikprotokoll im steirischen herbst festival in Graz."
"Juror Ole Frahm comments: "Julian Bonequi's "Death of the Anthropcene" starts from one of the most disturbing moments in radio's history, Orson Wells famous radio drama "War of the Worlds",
which aired life on Hallowe'en in 1938. Bonequi is less interested in the myth about this broadcast and the panic that it caused (or what the media made out of some reactions), but more in
the broadcasted text of Wells' adaption. While in "War of the Worlds" the aliens are hostile, do not talk and destroy all that is living, Bonequi's multi-layered, humourous and strange adaption
reminds us of the fact that Wells's fantasy is not fiction anymore. I am looking forward to a disturbing performance."
