Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
A tour with John Butcher and Akio Suzuki that set out to allow the audience to experience (and to listen to) the enviroment around them in different way.

How do we sense entanglement? Can the knotting of ropes according to a poem’s rhythm make the social pulse of language matter?
This programme takes human subjects as the focus for sound and image construction. And it includes a couple of masterpieces of experimental film: Paul Sharits’ deeply empathetic interpretation of epilepsy and Peter Kubelka’s Webern inspired abstract portrait of Arnulf Rainer.

(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
Looking at and listening to different ideas about sound and music, INSTAL 09’s collection of artists included Tetsuo Kogawa, vocalist Joan La Barbara, Phil Minton (and his Century FC feral choir), Austrian Actionist Hermann Nitsch, Steve McCaffery and many more.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
