Ian and Gil will host a discussion on the Argument project’s social and political commentaries, and with you try and maybe think through whether and how they might still have some currency today: what’s changed and what’s stayed the same?
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
