Michael Colligan pressing white hot metal into dry ice, causing the metal to sing and scream.
Ray and Thomas talking about how cognitive neuroscience is unlocking the physical basis of personal experience.

Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.

A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?

Location: between: the abandoned site of Parker House (ex-council office building) that became a student accommodation regeneration project, off the Dudhope roundabout; Bell Street Car Park entrance ramp and; the awkward (and otherwise used/ used otherwise) space left over between the back of Tesco’s and DW Sports on the Murraygate.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
