Live broadcast - g39 - Cardiff

 

Curated, compiled and produced by Aled Simons, featuring: Bedwyr Williams, Georgia Gendall, Joan Jones, John Powell-Jones, Megan Visser, Rae Yen Song, Tomas Goddard, Tom Cardew.

 

A live streamed web-zine of Lo-fi video works, hi-fi video works, found footage, lost footage, animated gifs, standing stones, tarot and records. Noson Calan Gaeaf, Samhain, Allantide, All Hallow’s Eve and Halloween from the perspective of amateurish pseudoscience, backyard witchcraft, or a druid doing their big shop at Aldi. Past, present and future all at once. Performative whims, misinterpreted ritual, an impulse that becomes compulsion— all filtered through a childhood dressing-up box. Imagine exhuming the body of Houdini— the hamster you buried in 1989, or a Séance at Blockbuster Video in Aberdare.

​

Broadcast from beneath a haunted video shop on a dead high street, surrounded by unrewound videos.
