A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
Multiple images, glimpses of old films, abstract images in the midst of an electro-acoustic sound field of tape loops & analogue synthesizers
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
For day one of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will take up protocols for listening to the sound of freedom composed and facilitated by George E. Lewis.
Whether drawing their own fractured, abstract narrative, or re-contextualising, chewing up and spitting out someone else’s, each of the films here take a dramatic arc as their starting point and throw it to the wind.
A system in which film is projected onto copper strips, captured again and then re-projected as video, somehow transforming the original imagery into molasses-slow, molten and incredibly tactile flickers of colour and light.
Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.
TEST is a collective creative improvising quartet based out of the NYC Underground (figuratively and literally). Their street-hardened, spatial Jazz is riotous and intense: is also makes us think about collective organization, and different ideas of responsibility and liberty.
In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
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.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
