A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
Out of a dark haze, shafts of lights are picked out from the surface of film. Out of the black silence, noise, audible scratches bloom into a bright drone of broken and cracked objects.

Open community meeting to discuss some of the prevalent concerns impacting the ballroom community.
