The Music Gallery presents What Is: noncompliance Night 1: You cannot delete yourself

A guided workshop on subverting tape loops into a physical practice of memory and release. Think about where your memories are stored.

1. THE WORKSHOP at 6 PM: Experimenting with memory loops. Artist-facilitator Aliyah Aziz guides a WORKSHOP using tape loops as an exploration of what it means to take big tech out of our perceived experiences and re-engage with our senses. The taped loops will become a meditation on unravelling sounds, an artefact of our collective static through time, and an exercise of mutual transformation.

2. THE ACTIVATION: Artist Cookie Brunel will launch a web art activation titled “Exodus Big Techius: Root to leaving Google/Apple/Microsoft for the Collective Open Source” as a way for community to consider ways to remove themselves from big tech.

This is a low capacity workshop, tickets buyers are encouraged to not wait.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own recordings and a set of recordings will also be provided.

The workshop ends in a collaborative, improvisatory jam as we create an irreproducible moment that alters the past and the future.

Workshop participants are invited to perform as artists with Aliyah Aziz on Day 3 (Friday, May 8th).* Participants joining the performance Friday performance will have access to the full show.

If participants need extra support with hand mobility, as this is a physically detailed workshop, please reach out to sanjeet@musicgallery.org.
