Summing up of the investigations with a reflection on what has been done that week and what could be done the next.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.

How black radical practices of abolition imagine a way out of the caging and mass killing of life.
Beatriz will explore her thinking, on film as translation, plural subjectivity or land-based militancy. Discussion will centre around her work Oriana and its companion piece Oenanthe, which will be screened in full.
How do poetry and maths stitch together pictures of our fractured situation from its wreckage and relics, from the debris of hope and the well of residues that make us what we are?

Light Music is a dizzying celebration of the pivotal nature of sound in film; a direct and powerful transcription of film as sound.
Includes: a classic of innovative computer graphics, ex-pat Scot McLaren on form, a riotous psychedelic oil show with a Soft Machine accompaniment, subtle manipulation of data feedback, a colourful road movie and a reworking of a lost Paul Sharits film.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
