Dan and Jordan of Khaki Department from Te Papaioea are dialling in to chat about their new single Boogie Boarding. On Loose Reads Jenna’s in the studio to talk about Vladivostok Circus, a new novel from Elisa Shua Dusapin. Whakarongo mai nei!
This week we heard from Jeremy Cosmo Potts, about his first ever solo art show, which is a sort of hilarious/slightly hideous selection paintings and drawings, full of frogs, crab claws, watering cans, sex and debauchery. Then we talked to Sarah Mohawk about her show at Window Gallery, called Electronic Super Highway. Its stems from a paper titled ‘Autonomous Vehicles Need Experimental Ethics: Are We Ready for Utilitarian Cars?’ and explores the ethics involved when a self driving car is about to hit a group of people. Finally we hear from Dan Sanders about his contribution to the show titled "I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, because I don’t hate you; I love you…", which is associated with the Auckland Pride Festival.
