Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.
Patented 60 cycle hums, static pops, and terse electron pinpricks mutated into perfect, post-techno grooves and synaesthesic video
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
The films in the programme take the essential and fundamental building blocks of cinema (combining sound and image through time) screw about with them, interrogate them and cast them anew.
The reknowned artist Kjell Bjørgeengen works collaboratively with innovative musicians to make complex installations. Channels of flickering light are produced in response to and from sound.
Conceived of as a dual publication, video cassette and booklet, to be presented as an installation. The content of the videotape is the artist watching television.
Camille Sapara Barton author of Tending Grief will facilitate this BIPOC only session around somatics and racial justice.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
A festival asking how ideas of nihilism, darkness, subjectivity and abjection play out in experimental music, performance art, horror, neuroscience and philosophy?
