Celtic Explorer residency
I also made an audio diary of my time at sea last year on the Celtic Explorer a passage from Galway to Hamburg. Listening back a year later its interesting how this short sea containment was to be a dry run for 3 months of lockdown. Like the crew at sea music radio as ever helped me get through it, but like Benjamin each news hour the spell was broken as it was used as an agent of propaganda used to conceal mistakes made by those in power. Walter Benjamin wrote during the second world war about how his friend the radio had been occupied by politicians and propaganda and had turned against him as he tried to flee.
My audio diary will be streamed as part of Ars Electronica 9-11 Sept
