BENEDICT DREW - GLISS

Gliss attempts to highlight the slippage of meaning and physical simulacra within natural and technological phenomena. Starting with the cloud, a descent takes place from hi to low, both formally through the soundtrack and light frequency and through a materialist fiction from the cloud to the depths of the mine – via Wilhelm Reich through the prism of Kate Bush’s Cloudbusting, sung by a chorus who’s voices are basic midi files, and ending with an enormous anthropomorphic lump of clay defiantly rejecting its relationship with technology. Unlikely material combinations are fused with the electrical pulse of computer technology to catalyze and transform the obsolete nature of analog media.
