Organismo Immersive Radio represents an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the interconnectedness of microbial life, and the hidden infrastructures behind art collections.
The narrative begins with a login screen that directs the viewer to the Organismo Immersive Radio website. This introductory segment highlights the symbiotic relationship between microorganisms, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), and contemporary art. The vent is depicted not just as a physical structure but as a metaphorical gateway where the boundaries of time and space converge, allowing bacterial communities to flourish, exchange information, and observe the hidden dynamics of an art storage unit.
The video further engages the audience with a simulated exploration of various radio stations on the Organismo Immersive Radio platform. Each station, like “The Prophet from the Vent” and “WBZ Radio: The Voice of the Bacillus,” offers distinct auditory experiences and thematic content. These segments feature a range of voices, from prophetic and ominous to nostalgic and mellow, all contributing to a multifaceted portrayal of microbial and human resilience.
Produced with the aim of challenging traditional video formats, Organismo Immersive Radio offers an immersive and thought-provoking exploration of the microscopic universe hidden from the human eye. It challenges viewers to reconsider their perceptions of microbial life, highlighting the inherent resilience and adaptability of both microorganisms and humans.
