In the eighth episode of "Barbara London Calling," Barbara speaks with Jana Winderen, a Norwegian artist who straddles the fields of art, music and science. Her work encourages us not just to hear, but to listen, as she explores the aural dimensions of faraway landscapes. Winderen travels to the ends of the Earth, often alone, where she records nearly imperceptible sounds using an arsenal of sophisticated recording gear. She might drop a microphone inside the crevice of a gigantic glacier or hundreds of feet deep into the frigid Arctic Ocean, or even into Manhattan's East River, where she listens to the sounds of fish communicating.

In the eleventh episode of "Barbara London Calling," Barbara speaks with Brooklyn-based artist Marina Rosenfeld. As a composer, Marina orchestrated a performance art piece called "Shear Frost Orchestra," which featured 17 women each playing an electric guitar using nothing but bottles of nail polish. Sitting in a line, the women were directed to play their guitars in a series of choreographed actions: drop, hop, drone, scratch, and "A" for anything. Marina is currently artist in residence at Nokia Bell Labs, where she found inspiration in an experimental prototype for a multi-microphone nicknamed the Deathstar.

In the sixth episode of "Barbara London Calling," host Barbara London speaks with Rachel Rossin, a Brooklyn-based artist investigating the boundaries between reality, hyper-reality and the imaginary. Born in 1987, Rachel grew up in South Florida, where she lived in the shadow of hurricanes, floods and other natural disasters. This sense of anxiety—a kind of dread for nature’s ferocious side—still colors Rachel’s work. By age 8, Rachel was already painting and writing computer code, and she eventually began experimenting with virtual reality and digital art. For research, she hacks action-adventure video games, like Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty, so she can better understand the kinds of big-budget special effects she often incorporates in her work.
