To connect SI22 to the apocalypse narrative I would like to fictionalize and adapt (excepts of) the transcripts of the interviews we had on 7/11 (rendered by Riviera and Rosa) with prominent Radio Worm radio makers (Lucas, Lieuwe and Ash) as a radio activation manual/radio community survival guide and turn it into a publication through weasyprint or another web to print, F/LOSS tool. The publication could (maybe should) also include photos and/or illustrations (as a universal language). It will serve as a manifestation of the post-apocalyptic narrative, as a tribute to Worm Radio and as a thank you gift to the makers who opened their arms and studio for us.

Manual for Post-apocalyptic Radio Making

book cover

The apocalypse is an editorial space. On the basis of a pending catastrophe we are called to decide upon the relevance of archives in the future and make choices based on our informed judgement and the needs that we imagine a future society will have in order to (re)build itself and in connection to radio making.
