And that's been an amazing journey with 40 shows so far across the world in very weird and wonderful contexts, including Antarctica and the Amazon, and getting briefs like, can you do a museum of consciousness, just playing sound transmissions to the trees and the plants and the animals and no human audience.
C
8:39Carl Hayden SmithGUEST
And just getting these sort of weird and wonderful briefs So it's been, yeah, a real pleasure to get to know artists.

C

I don't think I'm any edgier than almost all the people here at this apparently centrist place, the University of Oxford.
