Sound and image slipping out of synch and into discord, the programme includes (in London at least) a very special version of Hollis Frampton’s masterful (nostalgia) with a live narration by Michael Snow.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.

Where we join Nackt Insecten’s disembodied spectral howls and heavyweight locomotive drones about SPT’s Subway.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Glasgow based artist Defaalt invites the audience to collaborate fully in his performance by means of a generative graphical interface.
