A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
An immersive environment where sound is looped through oscillators, radio, guitar pick-ups and video amps to create dense strobing images and colours

A carefully thought out, simple but rich performance using just a turntable, teach yourself foreign language LP’s, the impeccable timing of a percussionist, and an idea.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”
Part old-fashioned Renaissance man, part hardcore avant-gardist, the Canadian painter-photographer-filmmaker-musician gives full vent to his genius in the exhilarating perceptual vaudeville, named after the ‘central region’ of tissue that acts as a conduit between the brain’s two hemispheres.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
Joan La Barbara presents works exploring the colour spectrum of a single pitch resonating in her skull, an evocation of bird song and circular singing.
