‘’Listening to air can teach us a lot of information. When no ‘spoken’ or musical content is transmitted, our ears and minds become activated in a different way. Air makes us ask questions. It challenges our imagination.’’
Gabi Schaffner works as a trans-disciplinary artist within the realms of radio art, musique concrète and performance. Her artistic practice is determined by the methods of poetic ethnography. Tina-Marie Friedrich is a visual artist who has worked as a curator and teacher of painting, among other things. She performs several assisting duties on Datscha Radio.
Datscha Radio Ii: Air-on-air is supported by the Goethe-Institute in Germany.
