An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
Low-end drone guitarage army since 1997: nobody has done more on this occasion by a gaggle of sludge-lovers from the Scottish underground.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
A socio-poetic reading on wayward communities – The wayward create upheavals, incite tumult. They come and go as they please; they are fugitive; they are in open rebellion against society.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
Deliberately blurred drones, absent of definite structure or rhythm, framed in silence and devoid of any distraction from the pure matter of sound.
A celebration of risk taking and adventure from some of the boldest pioneers of the past 40 years, melding avant garde and underground forms of music and moving image to create new experiments and experiences in sight and sound.
This programme is a celebration of Charlemagne Palestine; passionate, extravagant, visceral. Including two sections from Ritual dans le Vide, an extension of his ‘running camera’ works of the 70’s and Pip Chodorov’s vibrant workout of a live version of Strumming Music.
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.
