The documentation of a project about the Russian futurist Welimir Chlebnikov, based on his text “Radio of the future.”
About 100 years ago the Russian futurist Velimir Chlebnikov wrote the text “Radio of the Future”. In his early vision, the term radio means some kind of transmission and also the content itself. Chlebnikov’s radio transmitted artificial smells, nation-wide news, automated doctors, knowledge, education and more. It was more a social and political vision than science fiction. In fact, Velimir Chlebnikov described a global network – like the one we have now. “ROSTA” is part of a series of short videos and performances that seek to develop Chlebnikov’s texts on several artistic levels.—Chris Haderer
International performance, visual and sound artist Josef Ka blends richly varied influences – everything from Butoh dance to cinematic theory – with her decades of nomadic world travel to create bold, highly personal site-specific art.
Josef Ka’s themes range from investigating the place of the human body in contemporary reality to exploring the inner body as a representative system of our human and post human kind.
Her artistic practice often actively invites the audience inside a sort of private reverie, making it is a deeply participatory one; she actively engages with both her audiences and with a wide diversity of other experimental artists.
In addition to her own work, Josef Ka curates a regular series of events and exhibitions at her Helsinki underground space – Sauna Gallery – and teaches classes on the theory and practice of performance art. She is also the inventor of the WORST THEATRE and her yogic training system, KA-YOGA.
