Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
How do poetry and maths stitch together pictures of our fractured situation from its wreckage and relics, from the debris of hope and the well of residues that make us what we are?

Morgan Fisher is a filmmaker of great wit and charm who uses the tools of experimental film to dissect the basic presuppositions of commercial cinema.
Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift undertake two intensive writing residencies at Scottish Sculpture Workshop in Lumsden and Hospitalfield in Arbroath.

Two bottomless brunch writing workshops—with readings—speculating the relationship between space, infrastructure, technologies and sex.
Coming to us from Taipei, Yo-Yo sends us elsewhere while bringing us back with her to the timezone of tomorrow.
