Boorloo-via-Montréal label Mystery & Wonder are known for their lovingly-made merchandise including hand-assembled CD cases, woodcut-printed vinyl sleeves, and ubiquitous black-and-white tote bags. They've toured extensively internationally, taking boxes of merch with them. In this workshop you are invited to make a merch item from scratch - die-cutting and folding paper, ink-stamping and gluing, and even burning audio onto a CD-R (or bringing your own dubbed tape). The workshop will discuss not just the art of making the thing, but also the love and care behind independent artistry, and how this extends to making and sharing merch. Participants are invited […]

Opt-out is a workshop focused on 'opting out' of the attention economies of capitalist platforms and developing alternatives that foster listening online. Facilitated by Ben Byrne, it will feature a presentation of some of his work with Avantwhatever, a forum for digital sound, art, and design. This will include the decentralised social media server Avantwhatever.org, which workshop participants will be able to experiment with and will be provided as an online gathering space during the Audible Edge Festival. Participants will be invited to share their own struggles, with the infinite scroll of commercial social media, listening to and paying for music deliberately […]

This participatory workshop focusses on experimental and critical writing practices, techniques and histories in their alignment with experimental art and music cultures. It's an invitation to discover the role and possibility of writing in our underground music community. Any experience levels are welcome. We will explore how writing (including the adjacent areas of art writing, artists’ writing, and art criticism) aligns itself with the affective dimensions of music and listening practices. These are practices that might require capabilities of being attentive, playful, experimental, interrogative, porous, open, site-responsive, and reflective. We will also consider the changing role of critical writing, reading and self-publishing within contemporary audio art and experimental music cultures and […]

Step into a world where art and nature converge. COMPOST is an immersive site-specific installation that activates the dystopian "public green space" using cutting-edge generative sound technology. By connecting two diodes to a plant and harnessing a delicate electrical signal, we unveil the plant's secrets. Its resistance dances in enigmatic patterns, responding to touch, light, and sound. Join sound artists Leisl Lucerne-Knight and August Pope in ceremonial sonic symbiosis to reignite connections between fellow organisms on Sunday April 7, 3pm – 5.30pm at a Secret Outdoor Location to be revealed.

Edited by Frédérik Lesage and Michael Terren, Creative Tools and the Softwarization of Cultural Production explores how creativity is increasingly designed, marketed, and produced through digital products and services which, the editors argue, are not politically, economically or culturally neutral. For this Night School session Michael Terren will lead a discussion building off of ideas expressed in the book. This will explore how artistic praxis has been co-opted by the service economy, rebranding it as the 'creative industries'. It will explore the consequences of this co-opting: insecure work as the norm, erosion of work-life balance, erosion of unions, and so on. Terren […]
