Bottom up culture, as static on dust particles, accumulates invisibly beneath the sheet of conformity — releasing itself through collision and separation, in not fully predictable ways.
Music to Come, Arsider, Misto Mame, Siamo Solo Noise and the Cube Microplex present “Like Static in the Dust”: two days of screenings and live sound and music, mapping the connections between underground collectives practicing autonomy and cultural self-production, beyond the circuits of the mainstream.
DAY 1 - Friday 13th March - from 7pm till late!...
The first day is dedicated to screenings and live A/V, starting with an unreleased collage from collective video archives: the Turin squat movement from the late 90s until today — a kinetic survey of whimsical situationism, DIY camouflage, resistance and collision with the state of things, showcasing autonomy as a vital necessity.
Clinamen: pirates against the great void - a film by Osservatorio per l’Oblio Industriale
Not merely a documentary but a semiotic excavation into the cold, industrial heart of Turin in search of that "swerve”. Through a feverish montage of unreleased archives we dive in the sweat-drenched kineticism of the city’s squatters movement through the 90s and 2000s, as a radical dissent against the "contactless violence" of our era via the organic residue of the riot, the ritual, and the encounter. A tactical refusal to be mapped, the proof that not every history is written in ink, but carved into the very skin of the concrete.
guest - performs with the Pattern Organ
An optical synthesiser of sound from patterns of light and dark creating ever-evolving and interactive audiovisual experience.
Infinite Spirit Music - fearless across concrete DJ set
Celebrated Bristol head Lionel Lamadon fearlessly quests along the boundaries of experimental music, from spoken word, sound poetry, concrete music to noise, industrial, electronica.
Jumble Sail x Craxi Driver - absurdists A/V manipulation meets retro-technologic video-acoustic sabotage
VHS, Video8, paper collage and circuit bent feedback mixers de-generate in an unstable glitch continuum with processed images birthed just to be suddenly destroyed. A tribute to limbic visual memories, flickering through the static of constantly degraded signals.
Speed Archer - non-verbal TV remix
Rolagsky processed films where the background noise volume of the body speaking is turned up: pauses, stutters and vocal ticks hidden in a world obscured by words, are the reactive tokens that make the stories become less specific and more universal.
La Grande Triple Alliance Internationale de L’Est - a film by N.Drolc & G.Marietta
A shape-shifting, faceless, puny and paranoid organism, la Grande Triple Alliance Internationale de l'Est doesn't exist. In the early 2000s, a powerful flux of poisonous hermaphroditic cells was first spotted in the French cities of Metz and Strasbourg, before infecting large delimited areas of the western and eastern web. A bad taste joke, ephemeral in its core, rigorously immortal.
