Glasgow based artist Defaalt invites the audience to collaborate fully in his performance by means of a generative graphical interface.

Quintessentially British, The Bohman Brothers’ music is a home-made and DIY conflux of some of the most virulent strains of experimental music.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
