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.

Datscha-Radio: Ein Garten On Air | A Garden on Air

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.

RadioGarten | RadioGarden

City gardens and urban gardening are high in trend. As recent initiatives for community gardens and other activities (like i.e. the so called "guerilla gardening") can show, this new (or renewed) interest in gardening is not only motivated by individual desires, but strongly informed by ecological and social engagement as well.

TBC radio : shortcuts to eternity radia #329: TIK RADIO BRATISLAVA SHORTCUTS + #57: and now eternity

in march 2011, members from of TIME INVENTORS' KABINET (TIK) met in bratislava for a week of collective research on radio as a tool for investigating alternate traces of time.
we used a wide range of methods (a.o. city walks, field recordings, investigations in individual as well as collective imaginations, deliberate data dreaming) to explore topics like time bending, hazy time, wind time, lichen clocks, ecotime zones, shortcuts – the latter to become the focus topic for our radio show.
based on our observations and findings we developed, performed and broadcast a live radio show on friday, march 18, 2011, as part of the research week's public closing event at hacklab progressbar.

for the second part of our show we hand over to radio TAZ lemurie prag – and in/to eternity.

TIK radio 'bratislava shortcuts' is a collaborative effort by
Guy van Belle (BE), Michal Cudrnak (SK), Nina Czegledy (HU), Barbara Huber (AT/SK), Kruno Jost (HR), Marton Andras Juhasz (HU), Michal Kindernay (CZ), Laszlo Kiss (HU), Verena Kuni (DE), and Jürgen Rendl (AT/SK).

Where others see a bridge, the Canadian percussionist Michael Gambacurta discovered an autophone – a musical instrument whose own substance produces sound with a vibrant tone.
