A dancer, media artist, and choreographer who makes multi-dimensions and realms, Lin’s amplification of energies and connections across bodies devolves the separations we are taught to abide.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
How black radical practices of abolition imagine a way out of the caging and mass killing of life.

A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.

For day five of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will review the previous work undertaken together, and perhaps draw up a summary of reflections and pose some future questions.
A dense materialist experience at the limits of contemporary computer music, drawing on Korean Shamanism and Communism; striving to create a strange new vibration to the world that seems to contain the seed of everything.
