#03 Interferences, ghosts, desire and fear

Frederic Jurgensson (1903-1987) and Konstantin Raudive (1909-1974) are considered the fathers of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) or the commonly known as psicophonies. An artist and a pscicologist, respectively, who teamed up to establish the theoretical basis of one of the most usual practices of the modern parapsychology. The act of listening to voices in the ether sound shares a lot of characteristics with the act of listening to the radio. We could also acknowledge that are, even in practice, just the same. Diction, words and music are the only changes, but never the desire, the fear of listening what we really desire to listen.

Contracömic #02 - "'For the love of art"

‘Contracömic’ is a radio programme presented by Borja Crespo and Elizabeth Casillas which aims to discover other worlds in this one, via a comic and its multiple possibilities. The fanzine as an artistic object, self-publication as a form of expression, a comic as activism and a critical tool, the committed cartoon, etc. It is focused on exploring the crossed fertilisation between the graphic medium and other arts, giving a voice to new trends, discovering new talents and essential authors which have opened up new expression channels. ‘Contracömic’ conceives a public interested in culture in general and comics in particular.

Episode #02. For the love of art

'Contracômic' analyzes in its second show the close relationship between comics and painting. Works such as Painters' News by María Luque or Art? Why? by Eleanor Davis will be explored. The program, conducted by Elizabeth Casillas and Borja Crespo, continues with an interview with the versatile artist Klari Moreno, with whom they talk about her experience as an artist and exhibitions curator, delving into the inclusion of comics in museums. Finally, the cartoonist Conxita Herrero participates in the final gathering, which deals with topics such as precariousness in the comic and that bad habit of people asking for drawings "for the love of art".
