“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
60 cycle hums, jagged static cracklings, and clipped electron pinpricks, mutating them into sublime, post-techno grooves

Location: between: the abandoned site of Parker House (ex-council office building) that became a student accommodation regeneration project, off the Dudhope roundabout; Bell Street Car Park entrance ramp and; the awkward (and otherwise used/ used otherwise) space left over between the back of Tesco’s and DW Sports on the Murraygate.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
