Radio Utopia: La Biennale di Venezia 23 with Carlotta Darò and Nicolas Tixier

Welcome to The Rest Is Just Noise, a monthly podcast about what do architects & acousticians, researchers & artists, engineers & academics have to say about the science and beauty of sounds in cities and landscapes. So, is there a better place to look for those answers than in the Laboratory of the Future, the 18th edition of the world-famous exhibition on architecture that’s being held every even year in Venice since the 1980, the Venice Biennale of Architecture 2023?

For this episode, we have sent Tin to travel to the north of Adriatic to visit the Radio Utopia, a laboratory of sound that took place first week of August inside the French pavilion and this year’s project the Ball Theatre. There, we found Carlotta Darò and Nicolas Tixier, the curators of Radio Utopia, and talked beyond just the glamour of multimedia at world exhibitions, discussing the importance of architectural atmospheres. 

Carlotta is a Lecturer at ENSA Paris Malaquais and a researcher at ETH Zürich, and Nicolas is the director of the CRESSON, Grenoble. So, in this episode, we are bringing you first a brief audio runthrough the program with Carlotta and finally the conversation with Carlotta and Nicolas, taking place within the soundscape of Les Nouvelles du Monde, News of the World, a collaboratory sound installation.

After Venice, Radio Utopia will be live in Paris in mid October.
