Channels Festival, Melbourne’s premiere video arts event, is putting on an extravaganza of sight and sound with their closing party AUTOFICTION.
The Substation, a 100-year-old repurposed industrial building in Newtown, will house a spectacle of innovation, curiosity and the creative exploration of ideas, movements, politics and technologies. Featuring performances from Brisbane rapper Jesswar and Club D’erange DJs and D’erange Dance Guides, as well as though-provoking work from Rachel Mason and Hannah Bronte.
AUTOFICTION will also feature a ‘silent-disco’ experience, combining spoken-word and postlyrical poetics with imprecise tracks, and large-scale moving collages as a subversive commentary on internet and trash culture from Melbourne artist Xanthe Dobbie.
Channels Festival runs September 1-10 and is currently the only of its kind in Melbourne, providing a platform for emerging talent in experimental moving image from Australian and international creatives in a uniquely immersive experience.
Tickets for AUTOFICTION available here.
