Paul Sharits’ Shutter Interface is a multi screen installation born of an intent to reveal the material substance of cinema in its purest form: spatially.

How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
Austrian guitarist who specialises in a warm digital deconstruction of guitar noise
Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.
A festival hewn from passions for experimental music, film and visual art and for a passion in figuring out how they can relate to, cross-fertilise and inspire and each other.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
A series of badly felted lock-ups and garages + multiple locations within the Megastructure – a purpose built town centre in one building, comprising (in the 50’s at least) of housing (never occupied), shops, apartments, a hotel, ice rink, police station and other amenities
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
How do people living with disability see themselves in today’s sexualised culture? How do we imagine our crip sexual selves despite society wanting to reduce us to non-erotic bodies?
