Home Invasion: Graeme Arnfield
A nightmarish essay film on the history of the doorbell, tracing its invention and constant reinventions through 19th century labour struggles, the nascent years of horror cinema, and contemporary surveillance cultures
Wednesday 29 Nov, 6:30pm
Keiken
In this artist talk, Keiken speak about their origins; how they started and how they work together both as a collective as well as with a network of collaborators. The talk focuses on how their collaboration evolved over time and the different roles they play within the collective in relation to the development of their work. The talk uses their current ongoing worldbuilding project Morphogenic Angels, closely looking at Chapter 1 of the Morphogenic Angels game as a way to expand on their methodologies and practice. Screening parts of the game for reference, Keiken talk through the work's development alongside the key concepts and ideas behind it.

Gary Zhexi Zhang
A successful artistic practice benefits from being autonomous, coherent and legible. But the world is none of these things. What lives in the gulf between contemporary art and its claims?
Wednesday 24 Jul 2024, 6:30pm, Cinema 1
Ben Rivers
Rivers’ films are typically intimate portrayals of solitary beings or isolated communities. His practice as a filmmaker treads a line between documentary and fiction. Rivers uses these themes as a starting point from which to imagine alternative narratives and existences in marginal worlds.
