Audio-makers from around the world take over The Essay to offer a series of Radio 3's innovative Between the Ears features in miniature – each inspired by one of the five senses. In a series of instructions, speculative directions and personal knowledges – overlapping images composed of old light – we encounter a choreography of gestures that house the incalculable forms of our living. How are we displaced from what we see? And what kind of unstable authority do we wield over a world constantly evading our grasp? Naarm/Melbourne-based Jon Tjhia is an artist, writer and editor working through radio and podcast, temporary broadcast, literature, photomedia, intersensory access, music and publishing. His recent work is published or commissioned by Debris Magazine, Chunky Move, Liquid Architecture, Un Magazine, LIMINAL, Weird Noise, the Powerhouse Museum, the Barbican, Avantwhatever and WFMU.
