Polymorphous Space by Tetsuo Kogawa

Like loads of people at the festival, Tetsuo Kogawa is interested in potential: the potential of radio and broadcasting as an artistic and political medium. Here is a direct quote from him. „Throughout its history, despite efforts by the Futurists in the 1920s, radio has been considered largely a means of communication rather than an art form. Therefore, it is ironic that just as traditional forms of radio are in decline, its possibilities as an art form are reaching extreme potentials. If, as Heidegger[2] suggests, extreme possibilities are reached at the end of something, what then ends with radio? What is radio‘s „most extreme possibility?“
