Clear Spot
[Repeated from Thursday 8.10pm.] Children of the Sun by Anna Friz. A Martian returns to damaged planet Earth, encountering industrialised and wild lands in a process of metamorphosis. Children of the Sun combines acoustic field recordings and electro-magnetic signals from various part of the spectrum recorded on the Salar de Atacama, northern Chile, from 2017-2024, together with two-way radio communications of mining workers and recontextualised NASA Apollo mission communications, specialised electronic instruments and voice in order to bring documentary sounds into the realm of science fiction, and to listen with the industrial desert and follow some of the many fields of influence at work. Children of the Sun is part of a larger suite of audio and audiovisual works entitled 'We Build Ruins' based on intensive fieldwork in the Atacama Desert undertaken by Anna Friz with collaborator Rodrigo Ríos Zunino since 2017.
The Salar de Atacama, once at the bottom of a sea, is now one of the driest places on Earth. Located in the high-altitude desert in the Andes, the salt flats contain rare geologic and organic systems, but vast exploitative mining operations (currently lithium and nearby copper mining) continue to radically reshape the land for eons to come. Intense UV solar radiation due to the high altitude and the specific geological formations serve as ready analogues for off-planet conditions; thus this area has been a training ground for off-planet robotic probes and for developing mining techniques that may be applied on Mars or elsewhere. Meanwhile Earth’s ecology is becoming a little more like Mars every day.
11:00am - 12:00pm

Arty Facts
[Repeated from Sunday 1.30pm.] Arty Facts with Master J is a show about working in the arts. Today: Master J is joined by performer, director, choreographer, theatre teacher and theatre-school principal Susy Puckett, whose career has taken her from touring with the original cast in the stage production of Victoria Wood's Dinner Ladies, CH4’s Top Boy, dancing in music videos for urban artist Jahna Sebastian, and working with Sir Michael Caine. But the question we ask is, what on earth possessed her to write, direct and star in her own sitcom pilot? In 2013 Susy made Help Yourselves, producing the whole thing herself. We discover what it takes to make a sitcom from scratch, what happened when she got the finished product in front of broadcasters, and whether she would do it all again. Expect stories about the difficulties of lighting a scene when you have no professional lighting, casting actors when you have no budget, and filming a sitcom with no audience to gauge the laughter. We'll also find out if Master J had been the commissioning editor, would he have given it a series? For more information visit Master J on Facebook.
