Where Do Balloons Go When They Die? (Experiment)
[Repeated from Monday 11 August]. A short audio experiment - with spoken word elements - which seems experientially longer than it actually is. Its creator, Daniel Wilson, has supplied the following quasi-obscurantism to cushion you from any disquiet: "when shopping (for bread, perhaps) we often reach behind the items placed at the front of the supermarket shelves in the hope of discovering those with later best-before dates in the shadowy recesses. Likewise, this recording attempts to reach beyond 'meaning', towards something deeper and more enduring”.
2:00pm - 4:20pm
Walking With Sebald: Austerlitz And The East End
Walking with Sebald: Austerlitz and the East End. Patrick Bernard follows in the footsteps of W. G. Sebald and his eponymous character Austerlitz as he explores the East End of London with poet Stephen Watts (a friend of 'Max' Sebald who accompanied him on many of his walks). They are joined by Nadia Valman and David Anderson from Queen Mary University of London as they visit many of the locations in the novel to uncover the layers of history hidden beneath the surface of the city and Sebald's text. Follow their progress at walkingwithsebald.wordpress.com. Sound recorded by Milo Thesiger-Meacham and photography by Karen Lacey-Holder.
