Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
A system in which film is projected onto copper strips, captured again and then re-projected as video, somehow transforming the original imagery into molasses-slow, molten and incredibly tactile flickers of colour and light.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
A simple, gracefully bold set-up to allow Loïc to trace connections: of comments upon comments upon comments, of sounds next to sounds next to sounds.
Hijokaidan rapidly built a following due to the overwhelmingly physical intensity of their live performances, often involving destructive onstage rituals of vomit, urine, mangled guitars and ear shredding volume.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
Ken presents his Nervous Magic Lantern, wherein film itself is forsaken for an investigation of hypnotic and trancelike crystaline forms. Eric La Casa works with recordings of everyday occurrences: the background hum of place.
A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
