Fernando thinks that when maths is deep, it should be simple and able to be explained by hand gestures. By embodying ideas, we’re able to more clearly think about their cultural implications.
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
Originally billed as a duo of Ingar Zach and Derek Bailey, John Butcher stood in for Bailey at the last minute.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
A rare live performance which, although not a full installation, made use of the unique acoustic and spatial properties of the Arches to rattle the audience and help it locate its third ear.
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.

A multi-media harp and spoken word tribute to the incalculable, the in-deducible, the suspicious static noise that accompanies the voice of truth, and the attempted aberrations in the domain of emergence.
