The queer archiving of traumatic cultural memory from one of the leading voices working with queer archives.
Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
For day five of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will review the previous work undertaken together, and perhaps draw up a summary of reflections and pose some future questions.
A kind of audience activating, structured film guessing game in the manipulation of time, sound and image. “At 11:15, weiners. At 21:05, pornography. At 23:30, a duet. Watch the Clock.”
Duo performance by two great French musique concrète improvisers using feedback, contact mics, tape, an old Revox tape machine, a vintage synth…
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.

This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
With lo-fi dreams and high-def humor, Bande brings MC vibes to the day. Interluding music with spoken performance, the live extimacy of Bande’s presence reaches out via emo-techno-bridges.
With a signature spartan sound and long term preoccupation in structural tactics (subtle shifts in density, drawn out stasis) Polwechsel blur the boundaries between individual instruments.
