Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?

Could cruising and random public sex be the basis of an ethically organised society? A discussion with Jackie Wang, Samuel R. Delany and Huw Lemmey.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
