4. Out of Control

We are uncovering more and more that the world is, in fact, a very dizzy place and that we are permanently in a state of dizziness. Anna Kim We know from the substantial body of psychological research that in the Western world, one particular group of people drawn to conspiracy have a problem with ambiguity and uncertainty, which I think is closely related to dizziness. Michael Butter Uncertainty, ways of control and oppression and modes of dis/obedience: Who is this “we” we create? Covering critical topics as diverse as conspiracy theories, propaganda, the impact of the pandemic in Brazil or Jakarta, the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the Climate Emergency, we try to grasp community and commonality, meandering through today’s world, weighing our options through the prism of dizziness with our brilliant guests’ insights. With contributions by Alice Pechriggl, Michael Butter, Ursula Prutsch, Dan Novy, Natascha Lennard, Evdokia Romanova, Ran Holtzmann, Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha, Grace Samboh, Anna Kim, Trevor Paglen, Ben Spatz, Katrin Bucher-Trantow.Untill the End by Tim Etchells. Credits:Directors: Ruth Anderwald + Leonhard Grond & Sergio EdelszteinAssistance: Laura BrechmannSpatial Audio Mix: Florian GrondRecording and Vocals Support: Ethan VincentProduction: Jeanne Drach, OH WOW Podcasts Photo:Ruth Anderwald + Leonhard Grond Sound:002_DIKEMAN - NOBLE - SERRIES - Obscure Fluctuations - 02 The Heart Strips Bare.wav, TR220_01_Taiyo No Maiso.wav, TR220_03_Kumo No Hikisaki.wav, arciv ev noise - sogepak.mp3, 614692__secondbody__glitched-oscillations-5-stutter.wav, TR220_02_Tsuki No Kanashimi.wav, Zentrum Fokus Forschung, University of Applied Arts ViennaFWF – Austrian Science Funds (FWF PEEK AR598)Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport, Austria Hosted on Acast.
