he open radio (artistic-theoretical) research platform R A D A R presents the seventeenth edition of the audio-visual experience RADART, this time entitled RADAVATART.
“Before matter, there was interference.
Before interference, there was noise.
And the noise never wanted to die.”
RADAVATART is a noise opera about a body composed of four elements that attempts to break itself down into its constituent parts. Earth. Water. Air. Fire. Each element demands its own ritual, its own deity, and its own renunciation.
On stage, performers were accompanied by a trampoline, earth, water, fans, signal fire, sirens, radio voices, special guests and circus colleagues to create conceptual art in a self-ironising audio-visual spectacle.
RADAVATART took place on June 4th 2026 in the circus tent on Ambrožev Trg, Ljubljana, as a part of Trojne Salte Festival and the RADART platform. It was also broadcast on FM radio and video streaming services.
This audio-visual performance, through noise, radio fiction, and elemental catastrophes, explores whether it is possible to shut down signals by destroying their constituent parts.
So far, it seems not.
Sound never dies )))
The event was organized by the R A D A R team, as part of Radio Študent’s program, in collaboration with Cirkokrog and MismoNismo, with the support of the City of Ljubljana (MOL). For more of our transmissions, please see our webpage:

Fragments from a Deviant by Luka Prinčič
I always liked radio. It offers a special mental, bodily and emotional
space. At least it used to. Things are so much different these days.
It seems it is so hard to find intimacy, time and attention to focus
on a single channel. It seems like we are tuned to many different
frequencies at once and we're having an open recording device on each
of them. Do we ever go back and listen to those recordings? Have we
really experienced each and every one of these channels? If we
haven't, do the recordings matter?
Radiophonicaly I was "born" through so called Ministry for Experiment
run by Borut Savski, Marko Košnik and Luka Frelih. Broadcasting seemed
such magic. The open radiospace after midnight and the experience of the
eXchange network (first web streaming, creating closed loop/chain of
online rebroadcasters) provoked a special sense of closeness and
distance at the same time.
A recent radio project was a monthly radio show "Fragments from a
Deviant", where various materials - sonic and textual - were
manipulated, processed and edited into a collage of dis/appearing
messages and references.
What follows is a short edit of some of those radio shows and few
original sound pieces.
