Morphic Resonance and The Deep Memory of Sound
Each Radio Lear mix is assembled as more than a sequence of tracks. It is an attempt at recollection. Not nostalgia, not revivalism, but recollection in a deeper sense: a turning again toward forms…
Intangible Labour’s Ritual Cleanse
The enactment of Intangible Labour’s Spiritual Cleanse unfolds with a familiarity that is older than the institutional languages we now use to describe art, work, or care. What takes place in the…
S2E37 Discussing Our Intangible Labour
There is a quiet defiance running through the conversations gathered in this programme. It is not staged as a manifesto, nor framed as a critique in the usual polemical sense. Instead, it emerges…
S2E36 Intangible Labour and the New Folklore
Intangible Labour and the New Folklore, which has opened at the basement gallery at Leicester’s Adult Education College on Belvoir Street, arrives at a moment when many of the forces shaping cultural…
S2E35 Computala Launch – Robots for a Safer World
The launch of Computala unfolded less like an opening night and more like a listening exercise. Voices moved between artworks, machines hummed in the background, and conversations drifted from…
S2E34 Distraction Therapy – Visualising the Emergent
What does it mean to see emergent metamodern arts, rather than simply to document them. This project has gradually disclosed a visual language that sits between fidelity and invention. Images are…
S2E33 Distraction Therapy Mix – New Year Shift of Orientation
The turning of the year is not simply a change of date. It is a shift in orientation. A moment when we are asked, quietly but firmly, to decide where we stand in relation to what is coming, and what…
S1 Distraction Therapy – Solstice and Urban Renewal
The Winter Solstice arrives quietly in the city. There is no open horizon, no wide moorland sky, yet the turning is no less real. It moves through streetlights and shuttered shops, through late buses…
S1 Distraction Therapy – Solstice Reflections
As the Winter Solstice passes, the land itself seems to pause and listen. Across the country, the air carries different voices now. The dark does not arrive as emptiness, but as presence, a…
S1E60 The Listening That Opens the World
The name of this piece arrived quietly, almost shyly, as if it did not want to interrupt the long inward breath that precedes any attempt to speak about art. It came not as a headline but as a…
S1 Distraction Therapy – Ikigai Offers a Gentle Answer
The latest episode of the Distraction Therapy podcast drifts toward the quiet centre of a question that feels both ancient and strangely contemporary. What is it that draws a life into coherence?…
S1 Distraction Therapy – Carving Out Space in the Global Noise
Distraction Therapy: carving space in the global noise. The mediascape is sprawling and incessant. Feeds fragment attention and pull it outward. Meaning is not given. It must be made. Isolation, in…
S1 Distraction Therapy – The Quiet Gift of Isolation
Distraction Therapy: the latest mix takes solitude as method. Not absence but a clearing. Step out of the outward world and a different light appears. Attention steadies. Breath lengthens. The inner…
S1 Radio Against the Grain
Broadcast radio is often dismissed as an anachronism, a relic of news bulletins, jingles, and chart rotations. Yet, its potential as an artistic medium remains vastly under-explored. Radio is not…
S1 Distraction Therapy – Media and the Work of Reconstruction
Consumer culture has reduced media to distraction and metrics. The metamodern task is reconstruction: reshaping media as a space where creative expression dislodges us from certainty and opens new…
S1 Distraction Therapy – In the Slipstream of Signs
The collapse of shared symbols leaves us adrift in a world of empty signs. For Radio Lear, this dissolution is an opening. Postmodern irony exhausted itself; metamodernism invites renewal. Artists…
S1 Radio as Atmosphere – Transforming Broadcast into an Art of Perception
In the age of constant notifications and algorithmic playlists, it is easy to overlook the peculiar power of broadcast radio. Unlike streaming services that respond to our every click, radio flows…
S1 Art Beyond Instruction – Towards Emergent Reconstruction
This Distraction Therapy episode explores how artists can respond to cultural reconstruction without relying on lectures or manifestos. Drawing on Schiller’s call for art to challenge rather than…
S1 Between Signs and Symbols – Metamodern Identity After Deconstruction
This episode of Distraction Therapy explores the tension between existential and spiritual identity. Existentialists frame identity as a negotiation of meanings, while essentialists root it in…
