In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
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 discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
A double bill of Morgan Fisher films that ask what can be achieved by a simple structural method of commenting on scraps of 35mm film, re-shot on 16mm film and what happens to meaning (if anything) when ‘insert shots’ are relieved of their original duty of providing crucial plot development for a variety of other movies?
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.
Two figureheads of the minimalist electronica pulse, Ikeda and Nicolai have been responsible for some of the most innovative and ground-breaking music of the last decade, redefining experimental electronica.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Captures the creak and rustle of the forest, with an exhilarating tension let loose in unconfined maniacal and bare-knuckle group thinking.
Simon Morris is joined by Nick Thurston as they attempt to read aloud whilst peddling on exercise bikes.
