Philosopher Johnny Golding ruminates on a formative childhood experience, when her father brought home an early prototype of night vision he was working on for the American Military 'Project Eyeglass', for ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency). Shot using corrupted night vision footage, the film explores Johnny's interest in quantum physics, entanglement and her philosophy of Radical Matter.

Film screening with live sound-to-light voiceover performance as part of 'Data as Nature' opening, Jing'an Sculpture Park, Shanghai Nature as Data brings together a series of works that offer opportunities to unpack and understand the immense amount of material we experience through digital technologies and interfaces every day. Through this exhibition we will show artwork that explores how human beings are analysing and enquiring into nature using digital and analogue technologies, to produce artworks that allow us to see nature in new and illuminating ways. Nature as Data includes works by artists who are interpreting data from nature, this includes how artists are collecting data from nature and creating exciting, captivating work that allows us to engage and understand. Other artists are creating new data, gathering material, and producing fascinating and perplexing artworks that attempt to unravel the impact data and technology, and our part in participating with it, are having on ourselves and humanity. Artists in the exhibition include: Anne Haaning, Patrick Hough, boredomresearch, Lawrence Lek, Larry Achiampong, David Blandy, Sebastian Buerkner, Semiconductor, Suki Chan and Ursula Mayer.

Gaze to the UNKNOWN focusing on Bodies and Sexualities - A---Z presents a special two evenings of screenings and performances - A Collaboration with Mimosa House to celebrate Tomaso Binga's work with contemporary practices, looking at moving image works and live performances. The Unknown projects have unfolded in several acts, through discussions, performances, installations and screening counteracting homogenization & imperialist historicizing - how do we create a platform to question and defy the norm? What are the options, solutions & human representations we can explore for new possibilities? The screenings are a reflection on current shared interests: in the gaze on the 'other' and its representation, its definition for new possibilities. The works presented explore the ideas of future bodies, the empowerment in deconstructed narratives, alternative (hi)stories. Exploring artistic practices and knowledge exchange through presentations, screenings and discussion A---Z aims at opening up to a large audience by sharing discursive practices in order to deconstruct preconceived ideas on race, gender identities and the so-called history in terms of power relationship.
