A collaboration between, Brendan Bensky, Tunni Kraus and ronch willner, Domain, despite it’s surface diversity, is an installation deeply contextualised within the substructure frameworks of the internet.

A collaboration between Tunni Kraus and ronch wilner, Press Hash is a seditious version of Yoko Ono’s telephone piece, it connects participants to a teleprompter system that narrates ‘a choose your own adventure’ by providing prompts to personal responses.

Isaiah’s Prophecy, car bomb and plough is a muliti-user installation that celebrates the inherent timelessness of collective sound generation. Utilising a repurposed car body, the installation permits the carved physical prayers to act as a framework for a participatory, audience led experimentation. Evoking a post-apocalyptic sensibility, the unpredictability of the work suggests the potential of a communal music machine.
