TIMEZONES

The TIMEZONES podcast series plunges into the world of artists and their practices, asking: What does living and working in culture and the arts involve in different countries, cities and contexts today? The artists’ thoughts on their moods, their social, political and intellectual realities and their philosophies (of life) have been worked up into experimental audio collages. The podcast’s episodes run the gamut of formats and content, from straight journalism to experimental and documentary approaches, ethnography and fiction, sound art and improvisation. The TIMEZONES series endeavors to create new artistic forms of storytelling, listening, and exchange across the boundaries of geography, time zones, genres, and practices. https://norient.com/timezones
