MAI-THU PERRET CELLULAR WORLD: CYBORG-HUMAN-AVATAR-HORROR Mai-Thu Perret is producing a new work for inclusion in the group show Cellular World. The exhibition explores questions of identity and individual and collective consciousness at a time of social change and uncertainty, when reality can often seem more like science fiction. The piece will be a life-size mannequin-like reclining figure, made from a mix of materials. This type of work is a consistent trope within her oeuvre, and reflects her concerns with an eclectic concoction of fact and fiction, avant-garde aesthetics and radical feminist politics. ©

SALOME VOEGELIN WHO CARES? A RADIO TALE Who cares? A radio tale turns Gasworks into a live broadcast studio in collaboration with the renowned experimental radio station Resonance FM. A programme of newly commissioned and existing performances, sound works and discussions invites audiences to think about affective labour, the unrecognized emotional work that exists in all parts of life. Salomé Voegelin, with her expertise in sound art, participates in a discussion in the first day of the programme. The project consists of two days of events taking place in Gasworks, broadcast live through Resonance 104.4 FM. ©

L’AUBAINE SPLICE FESTIVAL Accompanying the duo Orka with organic, graphical, painterly and mainly abstract visuals, L’Aubaine’s work has a handmade feel, imperfect, bold and very colourful like a painter with a canvas, but creating live compositions for her VJ set. Her clips are mostly 2D hand-drawn animations, simple shapes and paintings. Often breaking out of the rectangular screen with mapped compositions and the use of mesh, she sometimes uses an analogue video synth to create textures and lines. ©
