Genetic transfer

Gabriel Stones
www.gabrielstones.com/
Stones presents a site specific installation which uses the program's themes of genetic transfer, parasitic systems and
the technique of camouflage to think about fitting in, copying, structures and relationships.

WANDERING WOMB
“Wandering Wombs” is the second in the series of dinner performances “We Are Soft Bodies”, a collaboration between Jolien van Schagen & Sinéad O’Dwyer, where they instinctively explore their relationship to their bodies through food, object, garments & performance. By inverting the codes of the dining table etiquette we will create a space where the relativizing
lens of humor allows us to temporarily disrupt order, ridicule control, and liberate the perceptions of the body and how it should perform according to commonly held cultural canons.

Sympoiesis
A night of live music symbiosis
The first in a series of experimental (live) music symbiosis exploring the idea of 'making with' - to collectively-produce systems that do not have self-defined spatial or temporal boundaries. For this first edition we will focus on parasitic systems and the camouflage techniques they employ to exist
in their ecosystem.

For one reason or another the world is beginning to end.
A group of friends inadvertently hitch a ride to another solar system. Imari's daughter is the first child born between worlds.

-Anneke Kampman (b.1986. Edinburgh, Scotland) is a performer, composer and sound artist currently based in London. Her practice concerns the politics and poetics of sound and the voice, using performance, video, installation and text to examine the intersection between experimental music and issues of labour, gender, the body, technology and subjectivity.

-Tom Kobialka - Open Worm-
A 3D model of a dragon was ripped (copied) from a PC game. The dragon has been set as the central narrator to the OpenWorm project. OpenWorm is an open source project which attempts to create the worlds first digital lifeform based on the C. elegans nematode, the first multicellular organism to have its whole genome sequenced.

-Patchfinder, pronounced ptchfndr a vowel's periodic waveform represents tones, the sounds of music, whereas a consonant's aperiodicity represents noise, extra-musical worldly soun.

-Puck Verkade - Breeder (Episode 1) -https://vimeo.com/puckverkade
Through framing and reframing, Verkade speculates on how processes of reproduction become a sticky mess through lens based power structures. Breeder, an episodical video trilogy, explores how sexual, social and digital reproduction are entangled in a web of (mis)representation.

- Very Very Far Away (VVFA)- https://vvfa.space/
VVFA is a public facing research project consisting of a
Podcast, a Workshopand a series of special Projects, seeking to re-ignite future ideologies. Its method uses Space Exploration as a lens to examine current ideas and values which may pertain to future societies through technological advances.

-Alistair Small- Camouflage
Camouflage is an evolutionary adaptation that allows the ‘wearer’ – animal or plant – to gain an advantage: to hide from predators, to gain a mate, to acquire food. Camouflage is an adaptation of visual deceit, an aesthetic of dishonesty. In the early 20 th Century, militaries began to apply the principles of animal camouflage to standardised military uniform, and train their soldiers in the arts of concealment and deception. As a result, landscapes, animals, plants all become weaponised. But camouflage is also an identifier. Camouflage is the aesthetic arm of military power. Far from giving invisibility, camouflage is a visible sign of force.
