Radio Free Book Club: Orbital

We’re kicking of a new season of Radio Free Book Club with last year’s winner of the Booker Prize:  Samantha Harvey’s Orbital. Joining six astronauts circling the globe on the International Space Station are Traci Cumbay, Alex Mattingly, Kristin Baxter-Howell, and Ken Honeywell. There’s not much plot to spoil here, but be advised: We’re talking about the whole thing.

Indianapolis-based artist Benjamin Berg talks with Jim Walker about the glitch-based audio and visual work Berg shares in his exhibition, “I Can See the Pixels,” on view now through Feb. 23 at Tube Factory artspace. Berg — who will perform live in the gallery on the evening of Feb. 7 — explains how he uses (or misuses) GIFs embraces pixelation, glitches, and technological errors as creative tools. His work highlights how pushing for misbehavior within digital media can reveal unexpected beauty and challenge underlying assumptions about perfection in technology. Throughout the conversation, Berg reflects on his artistic process, the balance between control and randomness, and how audiences can engage with the imperfections embedded in his art. The intro and ending also share some of Berg’s music.

On the final episode of 2024, Sarah Layden, Craig Von Deylen, Laurel Judkins, and Ken Honeywell discuss a novel that’s divided the critics—Rachel Kushner’s Creation Lake—and share their favorite books of the year. Caution: spoilers!
