An Anthropocene concert of resurrected species, robot ventriloquists and other ushers of the uncanny. The world premiere of SPECIES PIRACY, a live cinema and A/V work in response to de-extinction science by Amy Cutler, Robin the Fog (Howlround), and James Holcombe (Erewhon), with live performances and experimental sets by Sarah Angliss, Murmur Ensemble / Matt Lewis, and Ojon / Jim Hobbs and a panel with scientists and filmmakers.

SPECIES PIRACY is an ensemble work resulting from Cutler’s artist residency at the Leverhulme Centre for Anthropocene Biodiversity (LCAB). Working in tandem, live cinema artist Amy Cutler, tape loop maestro Robin the Fog and filmmaker James Holcombe have developed new A/V processes inspired by the black arts of de-extinction. This includes video synthesis, hacked nature broadcasts and the launch of the world’s first 16mm film made in collaboration with AI and hand contact printing. Co-written by LCAB researcher Dr. Sarah Bezan, SPECIES PIRACY explores acts of splicing, mourning, dreaming and surviving. Robin’s quintet of battered tape machines will be running loops inspired by and sourced from species out of time.

This is an 18+ event
