Catching a live AV set by Sculpture is to enter a maximal portal into their visionary aesthetic.
Genre tropes, temporal indicators and perceptual associations are reconfigured in the moment seeking multisensory overload. A volatile simultaneity links the duo’s visual turntablism and metamorphic sound forms. With a camera mounted on a Technics turntable, Sutherland creates kaleidoscopic animations with a chaotic library of zoetropic prints. Photo collage, electromechanical imaging and cutting edge digital technique combine in fever dream patterns and op-art cuts. Hayhurst misuses samplers, reel to reel tape recorder, walkman and CDJ deck to create an analogue/digital hybrid of electronic pop and experimental splatter that maximises the results of unexpected combinations.
