Radio Web MACBA
Ràdio Web MACBA is a non-profit, cultural communication radiophonic project based at MACBA Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, Barcelona. Operating since 2006, it was the first podcasting project run by an art institution in Spain. Since then, it has engaged in open dialogue with some of the most significant international actors in the field, operating at the intersection of art, radiophonic practices, and experimental music.
"Ràdio Web MACBA is radio-beyond-radio; an online project that has amassed 15 years of collective learning and more than 800 files, with programming that explores the museum’s discursive lines –through the Son(i)a and Specials sections-, and specifically addresses the media we inhabit: the internet, sound, expanded radio –in the Research.
While on this path, we discovered other potentialities of the space we inhabit: intensive reading and working with artists on the production process resulted in recording sessions in which we delved into the conversations and disregarded the clock. Interested in attentive listening and remaining open to drift, we generated copious recorded material that we could not simply consign to a hard drive. So we created Deleted Scenes, picking up the bits that succumbed as we cooked up the narrative of our podcasts. Then we used this material to put together the Extra section, which also accommodates other happy accidents and processes. Lastly, Quaderns d’àudio spills over into text and images, in the form of digital publications." (2022)
