Ūmėdė*: x⬳disciplinary symposium for emerging art & related matters. What happened after the meteorite of the anthropocene has hit contemporary art, and bioactivists together with AI and XR* have exploded the discourse formerly known as media?

Ahead of this afternoon's live performance of The Great Offshore by RYBN you can hear this recently recorded interview, Produced by m-cult, about the larger project behind the performance.

RYBN.org presents a live radio performance based on their project The Great Offshore.

The Great Offshore is a long-term artistic research project aiming to highlight the inner mechanisms, networks and agents of offshore finance, and how they shape new kinds of extra-territorialities beyond legislation. The project studies the recent manifestations of offshore within the processes of financialisation of art, citizenship, outer space, waste externalisation, climate change unregulation, etc. Ultimately, the research is an attempt to understand how offshore has grown and spread from its primary form of tax havens to become the new economic norm of globalisation.

What role does music play in our lives? Can music teach us something about how to live? Dr Tom Cochrane and Faisal Gill discuss how musical improvisation gives us a model of freedom that we can recreate in everyday life. Of particular importance is the idea of working with what we have to hand, rather than imposing a sense of how things are supposed to be. This idea is applied to the use of one’s emotions in a generative way.
