How black radical practices of abolition imagine a way out of the caging and mass killing of life.
An open conversation hosted by Saidiya Hartman and Fred Moten around ‘fugitivity’ and ‘waywardness’ and what it means to be in flight, excessive or ungovernable.
Inspired by Delany’s Aye, and Gomorra. A spookily filmic world where asexual bodies live in the contradiction of their unarousable loneliness and desire for intimacy and contact.
“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Arrive, get settled, be hosted and meet-up in IRL and URL.
The Experimental Improvisers Association of Japan, [EXIAS-J] are a loose collective of musicians and dilettantes who seem to represent an entire and self sufficient scene in one band.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
