Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
An assembly to try and provide some experiential and theoretical resources for the renewal of a certain affective, extra-political sociality, in the face of one of our great adversaries; the forces of colonial, imperial, genocidal denial.
