How might electromagnetic listening bring sound art, environmental research, and scientific sensing into closer relation? This symposium-on-the-radio brings together artists and researchers engaging with the electromagnetic spectrum as both material and site of inquiry.

Fifteen contributors present work exploring natural radio phenomena, electromagnetic listening practices and questions of spectrum access. The programme moves between artist talks, panel discussions, audio artworks and live performance. Across these presentations, artistic research offers forms of situated knowledge production, operating alongside and in dialogue with social, scientific and technological methodologies.

The symposium takes place on the radio as a live broadcast accessible via FM in specific locations and globally via a dedicated online ‘listening room’ with a text-chat function for listeners to interact with and contribute to the ongoing broadcast. Live captions can be enabled via Chrome’s accessibility settings. Listeners are invited to tune in and out across the afternoon and evening, encountering the programme as a distributed, time-based experience.
