A multi-media harp and spoken word tribute to the incalculable, the in-deducible, the suspicious static noise that accompanies the voice of truth, and the attempted aberrations in the domain of emergence.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
A conversation between influential figures thinking through Blackness and Indigeneity, asking: what if we took seriously the possibility that this world, as we know it, may be coming to an end? We dread the loss of this world, but have we begun to imagine the one to come?
Mirror and Phantom Engineer performing an improvised soundtrack to Benjamin Christensen’s 1922 horror film prototype, Haxan: Witchcraft through the Ages.
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
Includes: tamed TV snow, video feedback of racing particles, a remake of a polish photogram film destroyed in WWII, a visual and aural representation of Gestalt theory, hole-punched film and Guy Sherwin’s Cycles 3 double-projection.
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
