Time 7-8pm (UK - GMT).
Hosts: Ruth Catlow, Irini Papdimitriou & Jonathon Munro
Special Guests: Eleonora Oreggia aka XNAME & Christian Kerrigan.
This critically acclaimed broadcast is every Wednesday evening at 7-8pm,
a series of hour long live interviews with people working at the edge of
contemporary practices in art, technology & social change; discussing
events and controversies, exhibitions, artworks and their social
contexts. http://www.furtherfield.org/programmes/radio
Eleonora Oreggia aka XNAME, discusses 'Virtual Entity', a research
project and a work of net-art trying to redefine the concepts of
authenticity, ownership, uniqueness and seriality within the digital
domain. The practical aspect of this speculation is a simple application
developed to create (and edit) the soul of a file. This is a metaphor:
the soul, a text-based soul, is the place where it is written who or
what a certain entity is; it is a mark for the preservation of identity.

XNAME is also included in the exhibition with others at the 'REFF –
Remix the world! Reinvent Reality!' by Art is Open Source and FakePress
at Furtherfield's Gallery space 25 February - 26 March 2011.

Christian Kerrigan uses digital technology to make objects,
installations, and drawings which draw out an array of ideas about
nature, technology and mortality. The 200 Year Continuum is the title
given to his collection which he has been developing since graduating
with a Masters from The Bartlett School of Architecture in 2007. At this
time, Christian was awarded the Fitzroy Robinson Drawing Prize at
University College London. Previously graduating from Edinburgh College
of Art, he also received a Diploma in Architectural Technology at Dublin
Institute of Technology in Ireland.
Last year, Christian was awarded Artist in Residence 2010 at the V&A,
supported by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation. He has exhibited his work most
recently at Examples to Follow! exhibition on aesthetics and
sustainability in Berlin, and Curiouser and Curiouser at the Old Vic
Tunnels, London. Christian is involved in an upcoming display entitled
'Instinct & Inspiration: Objects, Visitors & Artists-in-Residence at the
V&A' in Gallery 220 of the V&A's Sackler Centre.
