A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
Edinburgh. Beer and smoke befuddled drone/ deadly efforts by Pjorn72 kingpin.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Patented 60 cycle hums, static pops, and terse electron pinpricks mutated into perfect, post-techno grooves and synaesthesic video
What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
The practice of North African Indigenous revolutionary love, in the face of European capitalist violence and settler colonialism, with one of the most vital anti-colonial thinkers in Europe.
What kind of listening and acknowledging do we offer each other? What is it to listen to an ‘elsewhere’, and do we ever do anything else when we listen to music?
Poems are kisses, fists, and underground rivers. For all these reasons and many more, I am a poet.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
NVA asked Arika to curate and programme the sound aspects of their 2007 Half-Life production in Kilmartin Glen. Arika worked with Toshiya Tsunoda, Lee Patterson, Rhodri Davies and Angharad Davies.
Coming to us from Taipei, Yo-Yo sends us elsewhere while bringing us back with her to the timezone of tomorrow. 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.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
