What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
Andrew Chalk & Christoph Heemann return with their diaphanous, impressionistic drone duo; their slowly evolving and enthralling works flutter and quiver with elegantly restrained, miniature sound events.
Could cruising and random public sex be the basis of an ethically organised society? A discussion with Jackie Wang, Samuel R. Delany and Huw Lemmey.
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
One of the most startling cinematic debuts on record, The Flicker is more a hallucination than a film, an out of body experience and riotous celebration of visual harmonics frequencies. An experiment in perception, come with your mind and eyes open.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
Edinburgh. Beer and smoke befuddled drone/ deadly efforts by Pjorn72 kingpin.
A changing pool of people (40 or so at a time – artists, audiences, etc) talk for 90 minutes in a simultaneous series of open-ended round-table discussions, structured like speed dating, and mixed live as both a concert and for radio broadcast.
One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
Are artists powerless in the face of technology? These often whimsical and amusing films are minimal technological interventions and appropriations but maybe also rigorous takes on the role of popular media and culture in our hyper-technological world.
