NY Arrival

The Day That Was Yesterday

Headed off to Congress of Collectives, spending 8 hours in the air watching things that can’t be unseen. Things slid into difference, time became spongy, water tasting strange, restrooms and sidewalks. We got to Flux Factory and Doug blasted us with the itinerary as we stared with dazed blank eyes.

We joined in with the Flux communal meal and met a few of the others, then started to experience the different pace of events as the time between the meal and the band stretched like processed American cheese. Tiredness took over before they started but we remote viewed the performance as we settled into where we were staying, toy instruments and electronic buzzing bouncing off the gallery walls.

Glitch Dérive

Process:
(1) Engage in a collective drifting around city centre areas, which is recorded POV, while listening to pre-recorded drone music.
(2) Edit video footage to include the drone track and copy to VHS tape.
(3) Return to site of drifting, unspool tape and kick it around for a bit.
(4) Re-spool tape and transfer to computer.
(5) Make video file from anything captured.

In response to Reactor’s call for a video dialogue in the lead-up to Congress of the Collectives at FluxFactory in NYC, we have produced this video document of a new version of the AAS manifesto. Hopefully, this will encourage more dialogue between the groups.
