To trace the shape of absence, to corrupt micro-artifacts, to stockpile blur. Spectres circling the cringe-sincerity cycle.

A triple-bill treat 🍬: Milan-based live arts curator and Chinese internet cartographer Y1cong, DJ alias manymanybow, performs with sound hauntologist Welainej + doll handler Red; screening films by 美感大師 Suze Chan’s danshari paradigm, internet cinema’s blurring expert Dana Dawud, and vibe semiotician Joseph Chen of Virtue Village. Closing with artist-curator presentations and cross-examinations.
