Exploring the relationship of how we are both shaping and being shaped by our surroundings through embodied conversations with artists and thinkers, the Worlding Podcast expands our awareness of our more-than human surroundings and traces interpersonal connections by inviting each guest to recommend an important person for them to be interviewed next, similar to a string figure. Hosted by dance artist Renae Shadler, this show has an organic life of its own and tends to meander in unpredictable and unexpected ways.

While scientists tend to categorize their objects of study in order to verify some pre-prepared hypotheses, visual artist Oliver Thie is focused on the individual within the species or class of things. In this episode we dive into two of Oliver’s solo exhibitions: ‘The truth about the origin of the world’ (2020) where he worked with an 18th century stone collection from the Siebengebirge in Germany and ‘Mapping the Invisible’ where Oliver explores a microscopic Hawaiian cave-dwelling cicada by enlarging it into a wall-sized drawing. In times of Anthropocentric landscapes and rapidly increasing insect extinction, his work is a persistent act of documentation that brings to life unseen microcosms and the beauty within the individuality of things.
