Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
Three days of discussions, performances, actions, dancing and food – continuing No Total’s ongoing contemplation of ways of being together and the ways Arika have been entangled in those, ever since Episode 4.
A dense, hard, immersive, chaotic spatial performance in sound: a momentary gap in consciousness, free of order or decision.

Mirror and Phantom Engineer performing an improvised soundtrack to Benjamin Christensen’s 1922 horror film prototype, Haxan: Witchcraft through the Ages.
Performances of compositions by Jean-Luc Guionnet and others, with Julia Letitia Scott, Iain Campbell F-W, Neil Davidson, Fritz Welch, Liene Rozite, Emilia Beatriz.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
Light Music is a dizzying celebration of the pivotal nature of sound in film; a direct and powerful transcription of film as sound.

A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
