Noises of dissent and visions from the shattered lens of CCTV and surveillance. Broken Channel looks at the contemporary experience of surveillance, seeking to decode the transmissions and explore the disembodied aesthetics of individuals reduced to spectres flickering across screens, or to highlight how control mechanisms can be disrupted or refunctioned. Featuring Vigilare by Kaffe Matthews (Annette Works) and Riz Maslen (Big Orange Cat Music/www.neotropic.net), Thee I is our mirror v0.5, work-in-progress by Coldcut and Outer Bongolia, Imperial Beach (Sistema de valor No. 8) by Los Angeles artist/activist collective Ultra-red (FatCat/mille plateaux), Aprotic by Battery Operated + Made (C0C0S0L1DC1T1/Skam)
The Broken Channel DVD/audio CD will be released by C0C0S0L1DC1T1 in April 04. www.cocosolidciti.com. Broken Channel is supported by the Arts Council of England.
