By Emeka Ogboh for reboot.fm
RADIO 0-3-0 combines a vast array of recorded audio materials such as news reports, interviews and music into a radio program, which examines the refugees’ situation in Berlin. He thus inquires how the city as such is reacting to the situation. The sound installation RADIO 0-3-0 invited the visitors to stay and listen during a local mini-fm broadcast at the Gorki Theatre in Berlin as part of the Herbstsalon in October, 2015. This radia.fm compilation is extracted from over ten hours of radio material.

As a visual archive escaping traditional representation, we perform excerpts from a text that conveys a hallucinatory urbanism, interconnected anatomies, and the mechanics of everyday apparitions.
