A festival asking how ideas of nihilism, darkness, subjectivity and abjection play out in experimental music, performance art, horror, neuroscience and philosophy?
Inspired by the supernatural horror of H. P. Lovecraft, black metal and a sense of worry as to what constitutes an object, or a world.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.
A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
The final iteration of Arika’s INSTAL festivals, the 2010 edition was an experimental festival of experimental music – 3 days of events at the Tramway that explored un-average ideas about sound and music.
Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
A multi-media harp and spoken word tribute to the incalculable, the in-deducible, the suspicious static noise that accompanies the voice of truth, and the attempted aberrations in the domain of emergence.
