A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
In this interactive workshop, Dean Spade, author of Mutual Aid, will share key principles, explore common challenges in mutual aid work, and offer tools for working through them.
Performing with hand built radio transmitters, which react to interference in the atmosphere and the electrical impedance of his hands, his radio art is a form of social practice; a statement in opposition to mass media.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
A chat with Rashad about the communist, conceptual methodology that informs his ground-breaking synthetic music—a form of speculative sonic fiction writing to produce hyperreal non-representational auditive experiences.
Individual experience separated by physical boundaries (of space, time or ability) suggested as communities of collective experience by (perhaps voyeuristic) artists.
Thinking against the monoculturalism of Western thought—of faith, affection, sexuality and gender—which completely lacks any utility to, or descriptive value of Indigenous worldviews.
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.
Now a two day festival, INSTAL 04 was borne of a desire to open eyes, challenge audiences and expand musical horizons. This was also the year in which a certain representative from Corwood Industries made his first ever live appearance.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
