The Echo project is an installation as audio guide for a crowd. And at the same time it’s a private conversation: with you, as one of 20 people in a room, a sort of public intimacy.
A live installation of the ‘Film Ist’: projected on 4 huge screens and an improvised soundtrack from 4 figureheads of the Austrian experimental music scene.
A riot of 60’s psychedelia, magick, ritual and tight black leather, this programme highlights underground innovators who use and subvert pop music for their own experimental ends; and be warned, in Anger, there’s real darkness.
Jarrod Fowler and Christof Migone kick things off with performances involving edible plants, a saw, dandruff, and Christof responding to the prompt: “as far as you can for as long as you can.”
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
One of the most startling cinematic debuts on record, The Flicker is more a hallucination than a film, an out of body experience and riotous celebration of visual harmonics frequencies. An experiment in perception, come with your mind and eyes open.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
Join Brian as he ruminates on the history of how experimental filmmakers and sound artists have drifted into and taken over galleries in order to show their work.
