Asphyxia: The "Idiote", the Library Wifi and the Suppressed Safe #21 - Acousmata
with Daniel R. Wilson
Tuesday 24th October 2023 00:00 - 01:00 BST
Originally commissioned in 2022 as part of Radio Art Zone's tapestry of 22-hour radio productions, this project by Daniel R. Wilson is re-presented here in episodic form. Asphyxia hacks the antagonising systems which thwart and forestall projects (its name also acknowledges the asphyxiating atmosphere of long-form radio when made by a single person). It is a damaged would-be radio documentary exploring the Narnia of restricted access material and gatekept employment.
In this instalment the teachings of Marcus S Chambers (aka Exact Thinker) regarding the Idiote's plight are abutted against futile ploughing against the grain. Meanwhile, the British Library found diaries are delved into, hardcorely.
