PROBES <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag> takes Marshall McLuhan’s
conceptual contrapositions as a starting point to analyse and expose the
search for a new sonic language made urgent after the collapse of tonality
in the twentieth century. The series looks at the many probes and
experiments that were launched in the last century in search of new musical
resources, and a new aesthetic; for ways to make music adequate to a world
transformed by disorientating technologies.

You can find the latest instalment of the series, exploring the impact of
Indian instruments in Western Music here.

Zach Blas <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/zach-blas/capsula>talks about
utopian plagiarism, biometrics, life patterns, and unthinkable moments;
about identity, opacity, and paranodes; about speculation understood in
terms of usefulness, and about how we can go about conceiving sensual
alternatives to the internet’s total mono-narrative today.

*Self-taught filmmaker Lizzie Borden* is a pioneer of militant queer and
lesbian cinema. Her second film, 'Born in Flames', described by Sophie
Mayer as “feminist Afro-futurist science fiction”, oozes freshness and
relevance even though it was released in 1983. It was produced without a
script – through what she calls inductive scripting – and shot over a
period of four years with a budget of barely 40,000 dollars. The editing
table then became one of her closest allies: guided by intuition and
tenacious lucidity, she turned to pseudo-documentary to make up for the
shortcomings resulting from precariousness and amateurism in the film
world.
Against this backdrop, pirate radio became one of the protagonists and main
motifs of the narrative thread of 'Born in Flames'. In this short excerpt,
Lizzie Borden explains the various reasons that led her to take an interest
in the phenomenon of European free radio, and how it helped her to connect
the various agendas of this cult film.

The slippery materiality of untraceable objects: from the arsenic poisoning
the wells of Bangladesh as told by Nabil Ahmed, to Arie Altena's account of
the superstition surrounding the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, or the
bizarre biology of the vampire squid from hell in a passage of Vilém
Flusser’s ‘Vampyroteuthis Infernalis’ read by AGF.

Mason <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/john-mason/capsula>*

place in migratory movements, and about the history of the Yoruba people.

about research practices in politically turbulent situations, about the
archiving paralysis of the eighties, the floundering promises of
neoliberalism and the possibilities of reactivating past stories of
responsibility and resistance in the present.
