For this episode artist Yuli Serfaty shares their new work, ‘Picnic Zone’ with Future Artefacts FM. Introduced by the voice of Golem, a character from Jewish folklore, this 15 minute soundscape presents an alternate time where surveillance technology has mutated with the Yetir Forest. Set at the edge of the Israeli desert and the West Bank, together we discuss Serfaty’s current speculative research; how the ecological, cultural and political worlds within this region can be considered together in all of their complexity and the ‘safety’ of picnic zones in a dystopic Israel.
