Blood Stereo & Ludo Mich: linking past and present generations of DIY intuitive expression in a post fluxus ‘big mess’.
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.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.
Nina’s going to talk about November, by Hito Steyerl: what and how the film thinks, or about what and how it might makes us think (which is connected, but not the same thing), by watching, and it discussing (with you?).
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
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.
