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.
Real-time video feedback loops submerged in laminal sheets of sound soaked in gauzy timbral detail and multi-valenced, buzzing overtones.
What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
How does this practice, that simultaneously resists and honours the distinctions between these genres, materials and senses, determine the inhabitation of another: a convergence of aesthetic and social experimentation?
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
Copying without Copying is 3 evenings of events that are about what happens when we speak, or when we hear someone speak on our behalf, when we share a collective moment of hearing and maybe understanding.
