On this episode, Caren Sullivan talks to artist Gary Farrelly from the super duo Office For Joint Administrative Intelligence in 2023.

Office For Joint Administrative Intelligence O.J.A.I. is the co-authored practice of artists Chris Dreier and Gary Farrelly.

It functions since 2015 as a hyperbolic bureaucratic para-intelligence agency operating between Brussels and Berlin. Drawing on obsessive research in the fields of corporate architecture, urban peripheries, tunnels, institutional power, and magic. Public manifestations of O.J.A.I. are performances, installations, publications, artefacts, and a radio show.

Work by O.J.A.I. has been presented at Marres Centre for Contemporary Culture (Maastricht), Damien and the Love Guru (Brussels), Hugh Lane Gallery (Dublin), Contemporary Art Centre (Cincinnati), Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles (Paris), De Garage (Mechelen), Complex Arts Centre (Dublin), among many others.

Recent projects;

Administrative Embrace, an one-hour audio work commissioned by @radiophreniaglasgow. The transmission moves through tunnels, flyovers, debris fields, and rustbelt landscapes -encountering states of decline, delirium, and heroic obedience through modular sound, spoken word, sonic residue, and bureaucratic fiction (April 2025).
