KAtie Gerardine O’neill & Dult
As we go deeper into the night, join us on the dark side at the Bookmart, who host Katie Gerardine O’Neill & ɗʉɭʈ [sonicz by sarah ellen lundy] at 9.30pm on Friday 22nd November. Katie is performing ‘Algorithm’, a 30 minute sound collage that forces us to question our reliance on technology. Are we selling, or awakening our souls?
ɗʉɭʈ is an audio/visual/performance project; inspired by Irish mythology, old ritual and nature, meditating on dark mysticism, medievalism and the macabre. Integral to the project are the artists own photographs and self shot/edited videos which accompany the audio as well as the physical movement performative elements of live sets. You have been warned.
