Could cruising and random public sex be the basis of an ethically organised society? A discussion with Jackie Wang, Samuel R. Delany and Huw Lemmey.

Wave Formations is a 5 screen work in which each screen runs through a series of fades and then stroboscopic flashes of colour, to create a series of visual harmonics.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.

Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
