What is Radio Implicacy about?

Radio Implicancies is about practicing interdependencies. About how to stay with the complex entanglements between the personal, the economical, the political and the computational. About thinking, using and making technology with mutual relations in mind.

If everything is mixed up with everything else, where do you start? Does it ever end? What does it mean to mean to say “stop” or “cut”? And how could anything change?

Radio Implicancies invites you to experiment with practical and theoretical propositions by feminist, non-binary, queer, anti-colonial and other disobedient researchers/practitioners (people who do not stay in their own corners) who each in their own way tug at the threads of techno-ecologies. They crack jokes and demand the impossible but also pay attention to feelings of discomfort and despair. From and with them we learn about things like refusal, diffraction (Karen Barad) and figuration (Povinelli, Haraway) and about the openings these might make for imagining technology otherwise.

T. Trying to speak through relations and dependencies, instead of the language of ownership and saying who you are and what you have.

Imagine you are cutting a cucumber, after a while, there are little droplets forming on the cucumber, you take a picture. Now you are walking the streets of Segovia, there is a market. You see a pumpkin cut in half and you see water droplets on the surface. You take a picture and you smile, you are on the street of the Canal in Den Haag, and there are sparkles on the water and you don't take a picture (But I did take a picture haha:P) and really appreciate the moment. I'm here now because I know that these are things that are appreciated here.
