As part of it’s youth oriented after hours events, Late at Tate Britain is putting on an impressive a programme of installations and a performances in collaboration with Warp Records and artist Jeremy Deller at Tate Britain on December 6.

Inspired by Deller’s ‘History of the World’ and switching roles, producer Oneohtrix Point Never -who’s already demonstrated his close relationship with visual art with a series of collaborations with the likes of Takeshi Murata, aqnb interviewee Nate Boyce and that terrifying Jon Rafman video this year -will be presenting an installation, alongside Glaswegian producers Hudson Mohawke and Rustie. Deller, on the other hand will present a live performance featuring Fairey Brass Band plus a live A/V show from patten and Darkstar.

Apparently removed from YouTube as quickly as it went up this alternate video for Brooklyn producer Oneohtrix Point Never ‘Still Life (betamale)’ dropped yesterday and features a chilling indictment of the culture of enslavement to the LCD screen we’re all too conscious of. Artist Jon Rafman is responsible for this one and confirms a collective fear just by the huge reaction to it.

As said in an essay ‘Harry Burke w/ Metahaven: Metahaven, visibility and the joke’ in Arcadia Missa’s How 2 Sleep Faster #4: “jokes, when politically effective, perform what everybody knew but couldn’t say”. We won’t tell you what’s in the video itself but will warn you, it’s like looking into the eyes of Medusa (the nihilist’s intrepretation, obv).

Oneohtrix Point Never’s R Plus Seven is out on Warp, September 30. **
