Asphyxia: The "Idiote", the Library Wifi and the Suppressed Safe #7 - Bot

with Daniel R. Wilson
Wednesday 4th September 2024 07:00 - 08:00 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.

Mission creep is at full tilt by this seventh episode, where indigestions supercede investigations. Notably features ongoing earth hum, phone calls and gnarled trajectories.

The discovery of a bot-like content-aggregating YouTube channel spells disaster for the original thinker's mental equilibrium. Mouseclicks pave the way to fuller understanding of man's inhumanity to man.
