Fifteen contact improvisation practitioners – accompanied by live sound works by Rastegah and Ania Mokrzycka (Pel Bonheur) – will be dancing on the carpeted wooden floor of the Resonance Extra studio in South London, with the guidance of contact improvisation teacher and choreographer, Rick Nodine.

Contact Improvisation is a structured but improvised partner dance based on communication through touch. It is often practised in duet form but, unlike other partner dances, it does not follow gendered norms of partnering. Dancers respond to one another’s touch and move in response to that touch, making instantaneous decisions about pace, direction and momentum, and honing their skill of listening: contact dancers listen not only with their ears, but also their skin.

Tune in to immerse yourself into the soundscape of bodies colliding, lifting and being lifted, rolling, sharing weight, and practising a non-violent form of corporeal autonomy and co-operation.

Curated by Queer Kittens and Chrys Papaioannou, in collaboration with Rick Nodine, Rastegah, Milo Thesiger-Meacham and Ania Mokrzycka (Pel Bonheur).

Interested in the idea of translation of physical, visual experiences into voice and the sonic, the HYPERSPACE artist collective share their exhibition soundscape with all those tuning in from the distance, accumulating and adding another layer though digitalised sound and sonified presence.

HYPERSPACE welcomes poet Will Harris, who responds to the exhibition through improvised spoken word, guiding the visitors through screen-based and sculptural works, inviting the listening audience to reinvent HYPERSPACE’s collective memory. They ask artist and researcher into blind aesthetics David Johnson, to share their experience of being audio guided through the multidimensional ebbs and flows of their sonic journey into HYPERSPACE.

Over the last twelve months, recovering from pandemic’s disconnectedness, HYPERSPACE artist collective regularly met for workshops led by diverse creative practitioners and accessibility consultants. They shared space through the screen experimenting with digital intimacy, gathered around a pond at the oldest housing cooperative in London or met in a forest at an Iron Age hill fort.

Scattered across diverse dimensions they drank mugwort, infused acorns, interacted with AI machines, while their collective voice was synthesised to translate their embodied experiences into an everlasting ethereal entity. With some always connecting at an international distance, simultaneously syncing with others in physical proximity, they merged their unequally distributed presence experiencing being together otherwise.

To respond to the current challenges experienced by emerging artists, employing a hybrid approach HYPERSPACE is also a dedicated, interactive digital platform, to create an accessible structure for ongoing interaction between artists and audiences, bridging the gap between them.

The HYPERSPACE digital platform is designed and built by artist Erik Lintunen. It's collective voice is synthesised and produced by artist Mikołaj Szatko. It's logo is designed by artist Nicola Tirabasso.

The core peer group artists and contributors include: Tanya Moulson, Natalia Janula, Lea Collet, Sara Rodrigues, Ada Hao, Rachel McRae, Ramona Güntert, Maja A. Ngom, Pietro Bardini, Sotiris Gonis, Erik Lintunen, Ania Mokrzycka, Agata Kik.

The session leaders and accessibility consultants were: Hollie Miller & Craig Scott, Verity Birt & Tom Sewell, Marcin Pietruszewski, Mikołaj Szatko, David Williams and Tarik Haskic, David Johnson, Atay Ilgun & Cyrus Vahidi, and Linda Rocco.

HYPERSPACE is funded by Arts Council England, the Finnish Institute in the UK and Ireland and the Italian Cultural Institute in London. Project partners include Shape Arts, Resonance Extra and Resonance FM. The media partners include CLOT and POST SCRIPTUM.

Collaborative curatorial group, Irruptive Chora, present HYPERSPACE, a live broadcast from Iklectik Art Lab, as a culmination of a year-long experimental peer-to-peer inquiry into new hybrid ways of learning, making and sharing work within the ruined art ecosystems.

In this episode, Dan Linn-Pearl has produced a montage and homage to the river Wye which flows near his home in the border town of Hay. Field recordings, hydrophone capture and improvised synthesiser sketches are broken up with audio from a film made by Friends of the Upper Wye.

This collective has organised a citizen science project to test water pollution levels and seek out solutions to reverse the decline of the river and its wildlife. In recent years, a build up of algae is threatening the ecosystem of the river. Evidence shows an increased amount of nitrates and phosphates in the water.

These are often a waste product of farming and in particular the 'run-off' from the intensive chicken farming which takes place throughout the area. Other potential causes are the increasingly inadequate sewage systems and the 'government policy' which allows raw sewage to be distributed directly into the river.
