How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
Experience a sense of being in the world, in a specific space and time. Including Jeanne Liotta’s recordings of the ionosphere and Walter Ruttmann’s radical 35mm precursor to musique concrète.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
One of the great experimental films. A 60 minute, three part riddle that maybe approximates our intellectual development by moving from imageless words to the recognition of silent images and the learning of simple tasks and finally a serenity and acceptance of death.

A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
Mashed up queer fantasy of worker’s revolts, biblical demons and present-day hells, and dubbed out cyborg-electro.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
