5 days of film, music, discussion and study of our collective incompleteness—arrayed against the colonial ordering of how we come to know the world—practicing how we might exist otherwise, right here and now. Can we start to know and practice the world to come?
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
Radu plays a trombone, Klaus creates pure sine waves: they sound on their own, or sometimes together and often with considerable space and silence.
4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
AVVA sees the internal feedback of Toshi’s no-input mixing desk is fed to Billy, and transformed into bright and variegated patters, striations and blooming colour, before being fed back to Toshi and manipulated on route to the PA.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
Music is full of refracted brass and wind tones, distorted tape loops, dead silent air and the occasional piercing shard of sound.
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
Acting at the minimum. Each film here substitutes one small thing for another, (ironically) transforming received meanings by the simplest of actions; often kind of funny too.
