Live at Processing, 43 Inverness Street Gallery, Panacea Exhibition, 5th December, 2015
"Like eating an imaginary apple, our hybrid human like bodies are formed to constantly digesting information, permanently inputing and outputting knowledge. We no longer have one mouth to eat, but thousand virtual nurturing holes, feeding us with raw particles of data. Can the unprocessed become an opportunity for new forms of life? A group of digital artists and musicians are gathered to present their observations on the digital body as a mean to cope with unprocessed memories. Collaborating with 'Panacea' exhibition project, the event elaborates those issues through their audiovisual works and live music/dance performances."

"CONTROL Installation, Cafe Oto Project Space, 10 - 13 September 2015"
A contribution I am doing towards Tom Mudd's Interactive Installation "CONTROL", which explores the relationships between artists, music, and musical artefacts.
Includes contributions from: The Alaska None | Mira Benjamin | Kurijn Buys | Adam Campbell | Tristan Clutterbuck Ben Harper | Ryo Ikeshiro | Phil Julian | Steph Horak | Sandra Ka | Stefano Kalonaris Jeremy Keenan | Tina Krekels | John Macedo | Scott Mc Laughlin | Tom Mudd Ingrid Plum | Adriana Sa | Dario Sanfilippo | Bill Thompson | Artur Vidal | Tim Yates
Programme Note: Discovered at the edge of the world (North of Iceland), this analogue radio signal has become a living memory of the remote place where it was initially recorded. It portrays the location’s continuous effort to remain connected to the rest of the world using the notion of live sound. The participants are invited to explore this signal, utilise its compositional potential, and using the microtonal qualities provided by the installation’s dial, reconnect to the possible distant place where the signal was first captured.
