The final line-up for our upcoming event features artists whose works harness the phantasmagorias, mystifications and servitudes of modern society to erode it from within, stripping it of the facade of perfect normality—ostensibly governed by the laws of flawless scientific and technological rationality—which conceals its mythological nature, inhabited by the apotropaic rituals of economic exchange.
Hailing from New York City, Margaret Chardiet will oil the event with one of the intensely provocative performances transmitted by her lifelong, programmatic industrial noise project Pharmakon. Following the spawn of its fifth transformation after a five-year hiatus, she will also present new material of this maggot mass that explores the human condition and purges the embodiments of real abstraction.
Congo-born oracle Nkisi will exhibit a specimen of Black Industrial/Noise in the form of a 3-hour DJ set aligned with the ongoing homonymous project by the Black Industrial Research Group, which “reclaims a postcolonial lineage of techno and noise within a loosely defined concept of Black Industrialism”. Tracing its roots from the ethnomusicological wax cylinders recorded in Africa in the early 20th century—whose overlooked anomalies can be seen as a form of proto-noise avant la lettre—to the Black British urban experience, Melika Ngombe Kolongo’s sorcery invokes the experimental and aberrant uses of teknology, inherent to the radical forms of so-called popular music, to expose its false official neutrality.
Tube Tentacles is “the closest thing to what you fear most”. Owner of a unique setup comprising valve synthesizers and other industrial rarities, Enrique Garoz’s output spans a range of projects including splits with legendary Japanoise artists and recent releases on Deathbed Tapes. To try out an exercise in defamiliarisation, he will perform at an unusual time and show his elusive vision, the product of an atmospheric and penetrating conception of noise that brings it closer to the most abstract non-human entities of Lovecraftian cosmic horror, in line with CCRU’s representations of Capital.
Last few days to get an early bird ticket.

As an end-of-year gift, we present A-Gen, a copyleft tool developed by Ex-All that is free to use and exploit.
A-Gen is a generator of random shapes, symbols and patterns. We wanted to create a tool that would allow us to generate shapes in a semi-controlled way but with the curiosity that randomness generates.

If you have any questions or need instructions on how to use it, please do not hesitate to contact us. We would love to see and share the results!

poster made some months ago using @asachang.info & Jun Ray's lyrics from "Hana", a song that holds a deep place in my heart.
This poster holds deep personal significance, crafted thoughtfully for a loved one who shares my appreciation for this song’s emotional resonance. My aim while creating was to convey the song's layered meanings by using composition and form to embody its themes of connection and sentiment.
