Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
One of the most startling cinematic debuts on record, The Flicker is more a hallucination than a film, an out of body experience and riotous celebration of visual harmonics frequencies. An experiment in perception, come with your mind and eyes open.
A sung-through Nubian musical ballet. A darkly humorous take on sexual trauma and what magical and ancestral tools might heal it.
Captures the creak and rustle of the forest, with an exhilarating tension let loose in unconfined maniacal and bare-knuckle group thinking.
Complexly interacting colossal drones by the creator of some of the most legendary yet least heard music of the 70’s.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?

An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”
