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 […]

Tactus: derived from Latin, ‘to touch’, also a term for a 15/16th-century rhythmic measurement. In 2017, a renaissance flute was recovered from a shipwreck in the Markermeer, North Holland. Made materially fragile by the passage of time, the instrument was nevertheless preserved intact in its watery solitude for 500 years. Archeologists and historians can only speculate on the flute’s origin, directed by material clues, including a small roll of Germanic text found curled inside the instrument. Replicas have since been made of the flute, reviving a sound lost to the ocean for centuries. The instrument’s journey unfolds in Tactus, a new […]

There should be an entourage of us heading that way for the Welcome to Country at 8pm. Contact the AE team if you would like someone to walk with. Accessibility: The Flaming […]

Audible Edge’s grand opening is Body the body, a wild experiment in permission, possibility and play.

Starting with a Welcome to Country and concert-style performances, the night gradually gives way to dancing, communion and experimental physical performance. The centrepiece of the show is our Audible Edge commission for this year, Myriad Sun in the Block Universe. A four-sided screen made of […]
