A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Deliberately blurred drones, absent of definite structure or rhythm, framed in silence and devoid of any distraction from the pure matter of sound.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
A performed self-cancelling discussion, with artists from the festival, invited speakers and local artists talking at once, over each other, or straining to be heard over the din.
An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”

The production of moving image (film) by the mechanically, unfalteringly repetitive manipulation of mass-produced materials (film), in order to explore three different allegorical representations (films) of repetitive human actions and labour under capital.
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
