This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Has neoliberal capitalism locked down social experience? Are our seemingly subjective desires, our identities, pre-packaged by dominating social structures?
Are artists powerless in the face of technology? These often whimsical and amusing films are minimal technological interventions and appropriations but maybe also rigorous takes on the role of popular media and culture in our hyper-technological world.
Captures the creak and rustle of the forest, with an exhilarating tension let loose in unconfined maniacal and bare-knuckle group thinking.

Ex Ganger guitarist’s solo performance for guitar and fx, featuring breathless processed guitar, complex in structure and melody.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
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.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
