The Hive Collective

Syndrome continues their live sessions with Syndrome Sessions 2.2 featuring a live performance by Holly Herndon at their Liverpool location on September 5.

Devised in partnership by Mercy and The Hive Collective, the Liverpool multi-media lab has been hosting the Syndrome Sessions since its launch in April, rolling through an eclectic platform of artists, including avant-garde music collective a.P.A.t.T., glitch artist Antonio Roberts, and dancer Rachel Sweeney in Syndrome Sessions 2.0.

This event, organized in conjunction with Deep Hedonia, features Tennessee runaway Herndon and her hybridized sound, whose mix of modern composition training with a love of Berlin-techno club music takes on a different pitch in her most recent single, ‘Chorus‘, composed of a daily sample of her private internet browsing experience.

Herndon will be joined by a live performance by Kepla of Deep Hedonia as well as a screening of ‘Engineering Joy’ by The Hive Collective.

The first event of the new Syndrome series is hosted by a.P.A.t.T. and takes place at their Liverpool location on July 25.

The new session by the research and performance programme focus on novel approaches to emotional, political and technological control, the pop-up Kitchen Street space having been re-calibrated by a.P.A.t.T. into an industrial dystopia using spatialised sound and project mapping.

Alongside a.P.A.t.T., the event will feature ‘Qwop Dance’ by glitch artists Antonio Roberts & Rachel Sweeney, a performance of ‘The Nodes of Thamsanqua Jantjie’ (a play by Mark Greenwood and Nathan Jones, with music by a.P.A.t.T. and movement by Sarah Hume), as well as DJs from The Hive Collective.
