CTM Radio Lab

Commissioned Radio & Hybrid Live Works

Two winning projects have been selected from the CTM 2025 Radio Lab open call, which sought unusual explorations of the artistic possibilities of radio and live performance or installation mediums, under the theme of »affection.«

Offering a counterpoint to the world’s current state of conflict, this theme engages with and reflects upon the various potentials of affection, exploring new modes of relationality that are at once intimate and social, dismantling conventional divisions of public and private, and embracing ideas of interdependence and the richness of multi-perspective experience.

The Radio Lab is a project by Deutschlandfunk Kultur – Hörspiel / Klangkunst and CTM Festival in collaboration with ORF Ö1 Kunstradio, and the sound art initiative tekhnė, which is co-funded by the Creative Union programme of the European Union. The two winning projects will premiere at CTM 2025, with subsequent radio broadcasts via Deutschlandfunk Kultur and ORF in spring and autumn 2025 respectively.
