A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
A programme that looks at how sound and image can be treated as variants in a collection of ordered objects; at how to create meaning from the similar, and to notice difference.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Open community meeting to discuss some of the prevalent concerns impacting the ballroom community.
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
Three iconic figures from the Japanese underground assembled as a trio to stand in for the advertised duo of Junko and Jerome Noetinger who was unable to attend the festival due to illness.
Sadia Shirazi & Mezna Qato will discuss a series of scores that explore the texture and landscape of exile, resistance, and Muslim sociality. These instructional scores trouble the idea that art and activism are untouched by faith and faith is untouched by art and activism.
A performed, open, public conversation about how we might think politics from the position of intuition, in which Denise and Valentina use un-reasonable tools to map out a hybrid poetical/ ethical reading of their own situations.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Every aspect of every film is always about more than just film. Or, as Godard said: a tracking shot is a moral issue. A cross between a festival, magazine and discussion about experimental artists’ films.
