A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
Relative patterns of occlusion and exposure occupy two screens. Each exposure fires a stroboscopic flash of colour: yellow for one screen; blue for the other, filling the centre of both screens with colour, haloed with after-images.
Includes: solar flares, insect fireworks, a new film from Ian Helliwell, pulsating glaciers, an apple being eaten alive, sea ravaged stock, crushed blackberries and film that has literally risen from the grave.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
The Tower performance at KYTN throws into that mix the 70’s fluxus light shows and films of Jeff Perkins and other filmic interventions tuned to their unique frequency.

An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Dave will lead a session created for teenagers and designed to stimulate a supportive environment for artistic exploration through music improvisation.

A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
Originally billed as a duo of Ingar Zach and Derek Bailey, John Butcher stood in for Bailey at the last minute.
