Radio kal live broadcasts from knowbotiq’s
Darkish Matter Radio Studio Jeetze

radio kal’s Knotweed Frequencies bring together voices, whispers, hauntings, songs and echoes from yesterdays and tomorrows as experienced at the shores of the river Spree, the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea. As a fleeting space of artistic experimentation, bridging communities across ruptured times and borders, radio kal tracing relations built amidst the ebb and flow of pandemic time. Knotweed Frequencies #4 weaves stories of happenings and gatherings that took place this summer and autumn in the Houses of Kal Karachi, Colombo and Berlin.
Knotweed Frequencies are broadcasted live from the Darkish Matter Radio Studio Jeetze (DMRS Jeetze), a temporary radio studio that the artist collective knowbotiq has set up in a small village in Saxony-Anhalt. This area is characterized by infrastructure deficiencies, renewable energy systems and high-tech agriculture. The over-fertilized soil, the masses of so-called weeds, the subcutaneous infrasound of the omnipresent windmills and the croaking calls of the barn owl couple on their nocturnal hunt interfere and entangle with the situated audio programs. The windows of the studio are wide open to the garden and the landscape and the walls are covered with an ornament made of dried plants to built an psycho active acoustic infrastructure of weeds, medicinal and kitchen herbs.
