Do you like to tread on unsteady ground? Do you enjoy the view from a high-rise building, balancing over a high wire or following the allure of the unknown and uncertain?

This is a podcast as an artistic research endeavour – a piece of PodArt – that will get your head spinning, proposing artworks intertwined with conversations.

Following the pleasures and risks of becoming dizzy, we, artist-researcher duo Ruth Anderwald + Leonhard Grond and curator Sergio Edelsztein, have the immense pleasure of discussing dizziness with brilliant artists, writers, musicians, political scientists, philosophers, historians, mathematicians, urban planners, curators and other thinkers and creatives from Europe, North and South America, South East Asia and the Middle East. We're excited to discuss and learn something unexpected along the way as our guests talk about their ideas of dizziness, uncertainty, unpredictability and anxiety, the generative and destructive potential these states yield in our personal and social lives and environments; eventually, they propose ways of navigating dizziness individually, collectively and with our environment. When can we enjoy getting dizzy? When does it constitute a risk, and what risks are worth taking individually and as a society?

What is your take on dizziness, togetherness, and options for navigating states of dizziness, uncertainty and unpredictability together? Let us know: [email protected]

Produced in spatial audio, this PodArt is best enjoyed with a high-quality headset.
