Shutter Interface is an expanded cinema piece: a series of machinegun bursts of chromatic relationships and visual harmonics in an overwhelming montage
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Real-time video feedback loops submerged in laminal sheets of sound soaked in gauzy timbral detail and multi-valenced, buzzing overtones.
A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.
A chat, with examples (Zola, H. P. Lovecraft, Hammer Horror), about blackness and the sheer stupid thickness of what has no profundity whatsoever.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
Save the dates for Episode 12.
