Time 7-8pm (UK - GMT).

Hosts: Ruth Catlow, Irini Papdimitriou & Jonathon Munro
Special Guests: Eleonora Oreggia aka XNAME & Christian Kerrigan.

This critically acclaimed broadcast is every Wednesday evening at 7-8pm, 
a series of hour long live interviews with people working at the edge of 
contemporary practices in art, technology & social change; discussing 
events and controversies, exhibitions, artworks and their social 
contexts. http://www.furtherfield.org/programmes/radio

Eleonora Oreggia aka XNAME, discusses 'Virtual Entity', a research 
project and a work of net-art trying to redefine the concepts of 
authenticity, ownership, uniqueness and seriality within the digital 
domain. The practical aspect of this speculation is a simple application 
developed to create (and edit) the soul of a file. This is a metaphor: 
the soul, a text-based soul, is the place where it is written who or 
what a certain entity is; it is a mark for the preservation of identity.

XNAME is also included in the exhibition with others at the 'REFF – 
Remix the world! Reinvent Reality!' by Art is Open Source and FakePress 
at Furtherfield's Gallery space 25 February - 26 March 2011.

Christian Kerrigan uses digital technology to make objects, 
installations, and drawings which draw out an array of ideas about 
nature, technology and mortality. The 200 Year Continuum is the title 
given to his collection which he has been developing since graduating 
with a Masters from The Bartlett School of Architecture in 2007. At this 
time, Christian was awarded the Fitzroy Robinson Drawing Prize at 
University College London. Previously graduating from Edinburgh College 
of Art, he also received a Diploma in Architectural Technology at Dublin 
Institute of Technology in Ireland.

Last year, Christian was awarded Artist in Residence 2010 at the V&A, 
supported by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation. He has exhibited his work most 
recently at Examples to Follow! exhibition on aesthetics and 
sustainability in Berlin, and Curiouser and Curiouser at the Old Vic 
Tunnels, London. Christian is involved in an upcoming display entitled 
'Instinct & Inspiration: Objects, Visitors & Artists-in-Residence at the 
V&A' in Gallery 220 of the V&A's Sackler Centre.
