Special in‑the‑field broadcast — a one‑hour transmission emerging from a 48‑hour intensive of urban archaeology and DIY radio‑making that explores Chișinău as a sonic debris field, a site of nostalgia and disappearance. The show assembles layered soundscapes, voiced monologues, music stems from Soviet‑era Moldova, and testimonies about the soon‑to‑disappear Zemstvei—a meeting point for the city’s underground artist and activist scenes.
Chișinăul meu cel mic is a collaboration between the artist duo Office for Joint Administrative Intelligence and Moldovan filmmaker Kristina Jacot, supported by tranzit.ro/ Iași, the Centre for Art and the Political Imaginary (Gothenburg), and 3rd Space (Chișinău).
Kristina Jacot is a Moldovan artist, filmmaker, and cultural worker focused on DIY methodologies and on constructing provisional or “fake” structures that temporarily fulfill real needs—pop‑up cafés, libraries, cinemas. Her recent work concentrates on food as a central element of daily life and a continuous generator of choices, creating situations of “food for thought.”
Office for Joint Administrative Intelligence (O.J.A.I.) is the collaborative practice of artists Chris Dreier (1961, Germany) and Gary Farrelly (1983, Ireland). Founded in 2015, O.J.A.I. operates as a self‑declared para‑intelligence agency headquartered between Brussels and Berlin. The practice deploys tactics of bureaucratic embodiment and speculative administration to engage with corporate architecture, urban peripheries, infrastructural memory, and institutional form. O.J.A.I.’s activities take the shape of choreographed administrative rituals, narrated site procedures, performative red tape, and staged intelligence briefings.
