Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.

Performing with hand built radio transmitters, which react to interference in the atmosphere and the electrical impedance of his hands, his radio art is a form of social practice; a statement in opposition to mass media.
Reveling in the geometric, mathematical and perceptual relationship between sound and form, this programme features a landmark work of experimental film in Kubelka’s Arnulf Rainer; a complex, enduring and expressive of structuralist or flicker films.
Italian duo of brothers Maurizio and Roberto Opalio utilising an array of acoustic and electric guitars, various toy-instruments and toy-microphones.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.

A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
