<p>Future Matter #5 - Svitlana Matviyenko<br> "Dispatches from the Place of Imminence"</p> <p>Written by narrated by Svitlana Matviyenko</p> <p>"This project began this diary two months ago when our everyday life started showing the signs of persistent militarization in response to the Russian troops building up near the Ukrainian border. Registering the nuances of this transformation seemed important. Like many, I thought the tension would dissolve, but this is a war diary now." - Svitlana Matviyenko</p>

<p>Future Matter <a href="https://soundcloud.com/tags/4">#4</a> - Riar Rizaldi<br> "Holonomy"</p> <p>Written by Riar Rizaldi<br> Narrated by Nadia Tirensia<br> Sound and Mixing by Riar Rizaldi</p> <p>Holonomy is a science/ethno-fiction in the form of found-audio play. It tells a personal reflection of Indonesian astrobiologist & xenoanthropologist Serambi Fati in her diplomatic mission to visit a superhabitable planet called Bumi 5.0. On her interstellar voyage, she transmits her thought on her speculation of tropical futurism in Bumi. At the same time, she explores her theory of 'commoning process' which is developed based on the evolution of mutual assistance, moral order and cosmological system of the tropical region—especially Indonesian archipelago—and echoes it to her prediction of the Buminites society. Fati contemplates the past as much as she thinks about the future.</p> <p>Riar Rizaldi works as an artist, filmmaker and amateur researcher. Born in Indonesia and currently based in Hong Kong. His main focus is on the relationship between capital and technology, extractivism, and theoretical fiction. His works have been shown at Locarno Film Festival, BFI Southbank London, International Film Festival Rotterdam, NTT InterCommunication Center Tokyo, Centre Pompidou Paris, Times Museum Guangzhou, and National Gallery of Indonesia amongst others.</p> <p>Transcript of the audio find here<br> <a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.futurematter.institute%2F&token=e0e133-1-1619977575337" rel="nofollow ugc" target="_blank" title="https://www.futurematter.institute/">www.futurematter.institute/</a></p>

<p><strong>"Betraying Utopia"</strong></p> <p>Narrated by Jassem Hindi</p> <p>Sound and Mixing by Jassem Hindi</p> <p>Cover Design by Victor Timofeev</p> <p><br></p> <p>A utopia is a suspended locale, a space without time, extracted out of the mud of life. This canonical, western acceptance, is a suspicious object of desire - dis-incarnated; bodies are designed, pacified, or idealized. It is an island where time is suspended, and thus transformation is excluded. What happens when we re-introduce time, when we betray Utopia’s intent?</p> <p>To unlearn what “Utopia” could be/become, Jassem Hindi is using historical, conceptual and speculative strategies. This audio narrative consists of two parts, it is a soft introduction to wide research on “Betraying” utopia, and on “Slimy” utopia. This means using utopia as a political practice that is not about projection (waiting patiently for the future) in a linear, progressive timeline (what is possible according to what we know) - our strategy is to fragment utopia into smaller pieces and disseminate those fragments in our present practices. In art, Utopia is not ‘yet to come', it is a now: a poem written in times of war is direct access to utopia, a pharmakon in times of hardship - that is the effectiveness of utopia, its potential for immanence, for betraying the dis-incarnated, idealist version.</p> <p>Texts by Reza Negarestani, Benedict Singleton, Sun Ra, CA Conrad, Etel Adnan and others.</p> <p>Merci Andrea Novac, Merci Lesia Vasylchenko, Merci Sina Seifee, Go raibh maith agat Ruairi Donovan.</p> <p>This work is dedicated to the loving memory of Alina Popa.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Jassem Hindi is a Djeddah-born performer and sound artist based in Norway. He is an independent philosophy researcher, studying the double-bind of haunting and hospitality. His recent artworks have been focused on the physical relation between performance and death poetry, as a space for a collective political and environmental practice.</p>
