This theme groups work that might involve some high level technical specialisms (special microphones, hi-fi audio, code etc) along with projects where deconstructed objects/instruments are made to do unusual things, are re-purposed. And so on. 

These paired ‘terms’ are not synonyms nor are they binary oppositions but words that combine to (hopefully) produce un-rational anti-categories. The aim is to allow (encourage) the archive to be read in ways counter to normative or reductive categories. To allow things in the archive to appear in sometimes unlikely groupings and to resist essentialism.
