SHAPE Radio Show - 29th September 2016

A monthly programme by SHAPE (Sound, Heterogeneous Art & Performance in Europe), the platform established in 2014 by 16 European festivals with support of EU's Creative Europe programme to promote up-and-coming musicians and innovative audiovisual artists. On today's show, we talk to 4 artists who explore such topics as the military, transhumanism and memory, but also work with traditional instruments like the vibraphone. Born in Mainz and based in Berlin, Nik Nowak‘s sound objects combine the aesthetic qualities of sculpture with utility or functional objects, and explore urban or military phenomena at play in everyday life. PRISM is a musical and visual creation, a mix of live electro and cine-concert which is spatialised and edited in real time. Masayoshi Fujita is a Japanese vibraphonist and composer based in Berlin. Marta Heberle is an artist and theorist fascinated by transhumanism and the idea of transgressing and transcending the human.
