Kode9

Lawrence Lek + Kode9 @ ICA, Nov 19

17 November 2016

Lawrence Lek and Kode9 are presenting ‘The Nøtel’ at London’s ICA on November 19.

The London-based simulation artist, as well as producer and founder of London label Hyperdub have created an audio-visual show imagining a ‘post-scarcity’ world where the only thing in short supply is humans. The fully-automated, luxury hotel is inspired by themes of “full automation and post-work utopias set in the shadow of the existential threats posed by artificial intelligence.”

Guiding their audience through a first person/drone tour of the grand but empty spaces, the press trailer (see below) presents a bleak look at an uncomfortably possible future: “We built it all for nothing.”

See the ICA website for details.**

On the run

30 October 2012

Not many people were expecting this… The Spacecape (Stephen Samuel Gordon), Kode9’s eternal collaborator and friend provides today with this night-dark clip after going into trance for “On the run”. Besides the obscure confession Hyperdub aren’t sharing many more details on this new potential solo project by the London MC.

The clip has been directed by Hiroo Tanaka (aka Inumikaku) who had previously directed the King Midas Sound documentary for Steve Goodmans’ label last year and who funnily enough gets a new clip for FunkinEven released today too.
