‘Octopus’ is a podcast about individuals in a networked world and their relationships and affiliations with fast evolving networked organisms. Our speculations circle around the interaction between mind and matter and the merger of sensations and the material world.
The Octopus Podcast invite guests from art, academia, science and fringe areas to discuss contemporary issues in the fields of technology, art, society, science and politics. It would find out where areas of exchange and communication between individuals, collectives and new organisms can be found and ask: How we can imagine and describe such otherworldly phenomena.
We seek to invent new perspectives and languages to describe the evolutionary processes unfolding in real-time before our very own eyes and sensors.
‘Octopus’ is a Black Mirror Institute production, created and moderated by Sam Hopkins, Liz Haas aka lizvlx and Hans Bernhard and recorded at KHM, the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne.

In this podcast we talk to the artist Sophia Bauer about her research into the soundscapes of Kenyan Forests. Sophia uses sound to inquire into the presence of the past in today’s world. Inspired by the research of forest ecologist Suzanne Simard, who reframes Forests as social networks in which trees help one another to survive, Sophia frames sound as a relational medium. Sounding entity produces pressure waves which move through space, penetrating everything in their way and affecting all of us, human and non-human. We talk about the fungal networks which distribute nutrients from mother trees to weaker specimens, and how sound can be a forensic tool to deconstruct notions of landscape and the hierarchies embedded in them.
