In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
Joe Colley specialises in hotwired sound constructions full of ominous electronic disturbances and caustic, noxious drones. For KYTN, Joe created a situation of controlled chaos with 50 light sensitive oscillators placed in a field of candles.
