Possible Futures
Hans-Jakob Mühlethaler, Ludwig Lederer, DKV
"Possible Futures" is a podcast about the search for a sustainable artistic practice and a possible future in light of global climate change. In the first three episodes, we talk with artists, activists, and scientists about their work and its ecological impact. With our podcast, we aim to establish an honest and self-critical approach to the topics of sustainability. For the production, we exclusively used recycled materials and powered our mobile recording studio with solar energy.
