Jacobs’ pulsing and abstract 3D Nervous Magic Lantern performance grounded by Eric La Casa’s manipulated recordings of everyday locations.
Miniscule free-noise hissy-fits and broken instrument scrape/ squeal jams from the fools what brought you Giant Tank.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
Each film in this programme celebrates process; the decay of emulsion, the properties of dust and dirt, the manipulation of time. Post the dawn of the digital age, we reflect on our love of the film form, celluloid as an object, a medium and a physical entity.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
A programme that looks at how sound and image can be treated as variants in a collection of ordered objects; at how to create meaning from the similar, and to notice difference.
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
