((o)) GUNSTradio – 15.03.2013 – RadioGarten : Frankfurter Garten | RadioGarden : Frankfurter Garden
RadioGarten : Frankfurter Garten | RadioGarden : Frankfurt's Garden
Frankfurt has many gardens. But not a garden like this one: an urban community garden in the center of the city. However, it seems that now the time has come. We might see it grow over the spring, flower in the summer, and invite us to harvest the first fruit in autumn: The Frankfurter Garden.

Well, a garden needs a lot of work. And time. Of which we'd need definitely more. While the summer's harvest has still to be sorted and stored for later consume, the next season is already knocking at our door…
((o)) GUNSTradio – 21.09.2012 – RadioRhizomE: Rohstoff Recycling | Materials Recovery
Ernst Karel: Materials Recovery Facility
The alchemy of everyday. In our (post-)industrial society, there's quite a lot if stuff that won't go to the compost – yet can provide precious material resources. How does this sound? Let us follow Ernst Karel to a matreials recovery facility in Charlestown, Massachusetts…
RadioRhizomE: Rohstoff Recycling | Materials Recovery is a guest show from mobile radio, originally broadcasted as part of mobile radio BSP, mobile radio's programme for the Sao Paulo Art Biennial 2012.
mobile radio is a project by Sarah Washington and Knut Aufermann.
Ernst Karel's "Materials Recovery Facility" is a stereophonic field recording of a materials recovery unit based in Charlestown, Massachusetts. The audio has been recorded in January 2011. A first edition of the piece has been created in 2012 for Sensate. A Journal for Experiments in Critical Media Practice, where it is to be experienced online as part of the special collection "Return to the unseen 2.0".
Ernst Karel is a cultural anthropologist, sound collector, musician and composer. He is currently based in Camebridge, Massachusetts, where he he's lecturer in anthropology at Harvard University and manages the Sensory Ehnography Lab.*

Datscha-Radio: Auf Wiederhören! | Hear you again!
How fast a week can pass by! Datscha-Radio has broadcasted for seven days and nights from the Garden – with a considerable number of live concerts, performances and talks with artists, musicians and gardeners, with readings, sound art, music programmes and garden ghost hours about and around gardens, gardening and everything you can find, encounter and/or dream of in a garden.
Great many thanks to everybody!
((o)) Datscha-Radio: Biopatente | Bio-Patents
Biopatente, oder: Wem gehört die Welt? | Bio Patents, or: Who owns the World?
My plants, your plants – plants for everybody? You must be joking! Sure it may be well debatable if life should be claimable as property or rather not. However, when it comes to plants and their seeds, it seems like the answer is already given. The quality of seeds and breeds is decisive for harvest and gains – thus also for the market and trade value of whatever you grow in your gardens and on your acres. Consequently, the formula for a promising breed is in high demand. Not just since the first biological patents have been claimed. Yet – after being tested first in the reign of microorganisms – biological patents have made a stellar carreer in times of advanced bio-technologies, and lab genetics have finally directed the attention towards the "formulae of life". With considerably severe consequences for every body involved…
((o)) Datscha-Radio: Die Gärten der Riesen | Giants' Gardens
Die Gärten der Riesen | Giants' Gardens
In the giants' gardens is growing another time. A time of which we do not know. As probably men never will. For sure not those who claim them for their own…
A sound walk through (in)visble gardens, along the fences and walls hiding the giants' gardens.
The starting point for the walk is a text originally written during my research within the TIME INVENTORS' KABINET (TIK)* ("Die Gärten der Riesen"), published in the TIK book about "Gstettn" (Graz 2011). A first version has been broadcasted as part of GUNSTradio's TIME BENDING CLOCK RADIO series in June 2012.
For Datscha-Radio's* Morning Field a new version has been created, shifting the garden walk towards an imaginary morning hour.

What links apples with art and pomology with politics? RadioRhizom:e grows its antenna to further explore this field. Together with Frankfurt based artist Jörg Spamer we'll go for a stroll through the history of pomology, present to past to present. A box with "books abour apples" turns out to be the estate of a famous pomologist. Walking his footsteps we'll learn a lot – not only about the relations between man and malus domestica…

Datscha-Radio – A Garden On Air
A garden is more than a metaphor: Bridging architecture to nature, it is a living space for visions and encounters, for work and leisure. The garden has been a companion to mankind in all cultures since the beginning of civilization. With the onslaught of technologies of daily life, the topic of gardening has continually gained attention in terms of aesthetics, history and ecology. The true potential of the garden, though, lies within its rich multitudes. A garden is not just one place, it is many places; not just one system, but many systems. To create a garden for listening and international cooperation which appeals to all of the senses – this is the aim of Datscha-Radio.
