Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.

Includes: tamed TV snow, video feedback of racing particles, a remake of a polish photogram film destroyed in WWII, a visual and aural representation of Gestalt theory, hole-punched film and Guy Sherwin’s Cycles 3 double-projection.

Take a break and/ or hang in an Open Meet Up in IRL and URL
