Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
Ten short intimate one-on-one conversations with Robert Softley Gale – We all want to see ourselves reflected in the world around us—in society, in art, in culture… in porn?
A panel exploring the radical potential of technologies through fugitivity and opacity: their ability to obscure, to make it impossible for us to be known, to render us untraceable by every arm of the state even under the all-consuming spectre of surveillance capital.
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 stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”
Durational group-mind drone and clatter: bamboo, electronics, the contents of your local ironmongers bin. A 3-hour set from this legendary Japanese improvisation group.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
A rare live performance which, although not a full installation, made use of the unique acoustic and spatial properties of the Arches to rattle the audience and help it locate its third ear.
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
