Asphyxia: The "Idiote", the Library Wifi and the Suppressed Safe #5 - Censor

with Daniel R. Wilson
Wednesday 21st August 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.

In block five (the term 'episode' is no longer applicable here due to events exceeding the time-slot's duration, and time mismanagement on the part of the creator), the buzz in the left audio channel continues apace.

A visit is paid to the National Archives to view a document redacted to the point of insignificance, some Pure Volunteering is enacted, and attempts to meditate upon noise annoyances are experimentalised.
