A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
The Echo project is an installation as audio guide for a crowd. And at the same time it’s a private conversation: with you, as one of 20 people in a room, a sort of public intimacy.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
Nothing if not repetitive, film is founded on the incremental succession of minute difference. But how does repetition of the same play out, and is it a tool to comment on the standardising repetition of the mass media?
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
Paul Sharits’ Shutter Interface is a multi screen installation born of an intent to reveal the material substance of cinema in its purest form: spatially.
The production of moving image (film) by the mechanically, unfalteringly repetitive manipulation of mass-produced materials (film), in order to explore three different allegorical representations (films) of repetitive human actions and labour under capital.
Jacobs’ pulsing and abstract 3D Nervous Magic Lantern performance grounded by Eric La Casa’s manipulated recordings of everyday locations.
Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
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 whistle stop tour of visual and material culture that has anchored the sex workers rights movement through the decades until today.
