Pendrell, Luke and Branagan, Ben, 2024, Show, Exhibition or Event, The spectral transmissions research unit: Transmission #01
Abstract or Description: | Cyclical time. Spectral media obliterates the boundaries between self and world, questions concerning the correct boundary between an alien everyday reality. Driven towards a madness. Resorting to illusory magical techniques. Fairies could once be heard making music under this artificial hill. The rustling of a woman's skirt could occasionally be heard behind the walls, as could ghostly music. A piano was said to play itself, even though most of the keys were broken. A ghostly black dog wearing a 1940s suit leaning on a bannister, Russian voices and music emerge from the jukebox. Within thirty seconds, the figure had vanished. Music is also said to be heard within the building when none should be playing. What was this abominable cipher? Made as part of Gravity Waves and The Spirit World. The Spectral Transmissions Research Unit is a collaboration between Ben Branagan Luke Pendrell dedicated to the theoretical and practical construction, dissemination, transmission, observation and analysis of spectral emanations. Comprising a diverse spectrum of entities of various degrees of stability and tangibility. In as much as linear time can be applied, members of the STRU could, have, and or will include(d): Ludd Püca, JohnFrum, Kay Jackson, T-J.Cut, Dr. Ray Power, Proff. Jock Moxter, EKA-Francium, Dr. Tinkerpaw, Kaspar Brøcken, and The Coincidence Sprite. |
