Percussion used to explore the social construction of space
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Shutter Interface is an expanded cinema piece: a series of machinegun bursts of chromatic relationships and visual harmonics in an overwhelming montage
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
A back and forth between Fred and Fernando on the transits and obstructions between mathematics and poetics, and how both help us to think from the other side.

A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Saturday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
