LOW GRADE
Fri 22-Sun 24 July
An interlinked exhibition, workshop, music event and symposium on
technological obsolescence. That computer lying in the back of your
closet, the printer in your attic, the ZX Spectrum on the bottom shelf
at Oxfam: you may think they're useless, but to Low Grade they're the
raw materials of innovative and thought-provoking contemporary art and
music. Featuring live dot matrix pop from TREE WAVE (Dallas, Texas);
BODENSTANDIG 2000, Germany's masters of 8-bit rave cabaret; ALEXEI
SHULGIN, the father of cyberpunk (Moscow); LOVID (New York) plus
Obsolescence and Progress symposium, Tactile Media Lab knitting
workshop and Fuzzy Logic computational textile exhibition - featuring
OLIA LIALINA, SADIE PLANT, CAT MAZZA, CORY ARCANGEL and many more.
Curated by MICHAEL CONNOR and JACKIE PASSMORE.
