Posthuman Radio
Ars Electronica 2026
Posthuman Radio is a live sonic cabaret where artists, scientists, performers, AI-agents, humans and nonhumans are staged together. Conversations, field recordings, films and live activations run simultaneously. A moment to tune out of the usual noise, and attune to/with others.This is play. A radio play. And we take play seriously, just as an experiment is serious. Play is where relations get tried before they are real: otters nip each other and both know it is a game, a scientist speculates past their data, AI agents are scene partners.
Our stage is the podcast studio, where realities are rehearsed as much as recorded. After hours, unattended AI agents keep it going, folding field notes and sonic detritus into a continuous broadcast.
We take the more-than-human turn seriously and bring it toward humor, pleasure, and zones left at the door for seeming too slippery to hold. Expect strange propositions, awkward misunderstandings and the contradictions of connecting across worlds, slippages intact. Tune in. Something is always on.
