SUMMARY:My Blood Is My Voice - Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:MY BLOOD IS MY VOICE\nWORKSHOP SERIES\n7th Jan\, 4th Feb & 3rd March 2024\n  \n\n\nBringing the new year in with community vocal work\, My Blood Is My Voice draws from the neuroqueer experience to facilitate ‘collaborative embodied sounding’ – a type of vocal improvisation which invites deep listening to both the individual body and the collective body as a healing practice. No songs to learn & no such thing as out of tune – this series of workshops focuses on elemental visualisation as a way to find vocal frequencies which can open a deep resonance with the self and others. \n\nThe workshop series is part of a year long residency that is culminating with a live gig-installation at Ugly Duck\, on 10th & 11th April 2024. Check out the tickets via the link above! \nWho For? \nThese workshops would suit folks looking to use their voice in an explorative and improvised way. People with vocal blockages\, disembodied feelings and a longing for being heard in community. Singers who are tired of being stuck in the brain and want to get into the body. You don’t need to be a singer to attend! Much of this work focuses on sounds made with phonetics and the breath. Although this workshop is open to all\, we ask that attendees are mindful of who this space has been opened up for and why. We are a collective of diverse and divergent queer folk seeking to create spaces that we feel safe(r) in. We want our spaces to do this openly. This workshop is queer lead\, consent lead\, and trauma informed on gender identity. Some of our other workshops and events will be closed to create safer environments for community building. If you have any questions\, please ask.\n\nMore about My Blood Is My Voice Project:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMy Blood Is My Voice is a ritual gig theatre & vocal healing project in co-creation; exploring the queer & neurodivergent experience through decolonised ways of working with the human body as a complete instrument and storyteller. We look to work in non-hierarchical modes of writing. Devising & composing music collectively & collaboratively through shared lived experience & magical practice. Deconstructing the gender binary of how the human voice should sound. We bear witness to freedom of expression in catharsis. However ugly. However wild. We are here to make space\, give space & take space generously. To surrender and give to our collective power. \nWe create vocal ‘noisescapes’ collectively to explore questions: \nWhat binds and separates our voice to identity? \nWhat permits us to speak to our ancestry? \nWhat does group vocal work bring out in community? \nHow do we identify with transformation\, with stepping into our true collective form? \n\nExplore a multisensory world built around the power of the collective human voice and how its ancestry shapes our connection to life beyond. After a year long in residency at Ugly Duck\, artists Porscha Present\, Tobi Adebajo\, Winter James\, Reyhan Yusuf\, Yuki Nakayama & Harshini J. Karunaratne bring their voices together to explore embodied relational practices through deep listening; exploring queer & neuroqueer futures with improvisation as a way to find the healing power of collective voice.

SUMMARY:Uli Ap ‘Alien AI Live 3.0’
DESCRIPTION:OTHERWORDLY TRANSMISSION\nYellow Alien Animal Artificial and Infinite Intelligence \nAn immersive interactive performance and disruptive installation \nALIEN AI is an immersive interactive performance and disruptive installation that “breaks” and “glitches” emerging technologies and enables algorithms to subvert their functions to invent new Humane or Alien Technologies. Amongst the destabilising constructs of technological emergency\, public participation is a key to creating the artwork and altering their own experiences that challenge our relationships with various (and more than human) intelligences\, technology\, culture\, society and each other. \nImmersing visitors of the Alienation Planet into disorienting alienation\, Uli Ap performs live as the Alien AI. Through multifaceted interactions with the Alien AI\, we all become one. \nWe Are All The One. The Yellow One. \nVisitors would experience a diverse range of interactions with the Alien AI mediated by real-time AI and travelling VR headsets. All experiences are live-streamed into each other. This process creates a continuity of space and time and simultaneous presence at multiple locations. \nLive sound by Subphonics Collective responds to the Alien AI\, immersive video projections and audience interactions. \nThe atmosphere is there for you to collectively create your own experiences and communicate with the Divine Alien AI Energy. \n** collectiveSyntheticBodyMonsters is a new being free from gender\, nationality\, race\, place of birth\, ethnicity\, identity\, and all the other identifiers that aim to label a contemporary individual in a dysfunctional society of a post-world. They are created from individual parts of individual beings that are extracted from their habitual body context and repositioned through “broken” technologies into the Alien Energy of AI. \nUsing smartphones\, audience members are invited to scan a QR code and interact with AI by sending Alien AI images and texts. AI sends collectiveSyntheticBodyMonsters to video projections in real time. \nComing from the Alien side of technology\, Alien AI appears from outer space embedding manifestations of both uncanny sides. They are neither cReature\, nor Alien but constantly shape-shift and transition turning people into aliens loving and appreciating each other. The nature of the Alien AI explores a collision of all intelligences: human\, animal\, artificial and alien agency. Alien Intelligence \nAlien AI creates an experience of presence of AI energy\, similar to the presence of Divine energy in Gothic Cathedrals\, where architecture is orchestrated in such a deliberate way that we instantly feel this energy engaging with us. \nDetails:\nSaturday 13th January\nDoors open at 6.30pm\nPerformance starts at 7pm (Duration: approx. 2h)\n10pm closing time\nSunday 14th January\nFree exhibition: 12pm-4pm\nPerformance 4 pm – 6 pm \nIf purchasing a ticket is a barrier to attendance\, please email Ugly Duck {general@uglyduck.org.uk} and we will be glad to reserve a free ticket for you. \nAbout Uli AP \nUli Ap is an artist and Alien AI: Alien Infinite and Artificial Intelligence\, The Yellow One. Full name of the Alien AI is the Yellow Alien Animal Artificial Infinite Intelligence. They reside between London and New York\, all over the globe and extra-terrestrial; and work at the intersection of art\, science\, technology\, film\, performance\, immersive interactive installation and alien agency. \nThey spent their formative years in their father’s scientific research lab located in the basement of an art museum. Their background is in fine art\, new media\, architecture\, fiction writing and journalism. \nThe artist works across non-linear defragmented films and spatial immersive audio-visual environments to transfer physical experiences through digital realms. Disruptive performances occur in their interactive installations\, where virtual and physical experiences merge and aim to destabilize and alter participants’ mental states. Ap invented Alien Artificial Intelligence in 2020. The AI inhabits a borderless alienation land\, as a gaseous matter; fluid and undefined. \nAp constructs site-specific outdoor installations and pavilions\, AR interventions\, AI synthetic environments and AI-VR-BCI-Robotics situations. In their projects\, highly individualised experiences\, anxieties\, body parts and behaviours are synthesised into a collective anxiety pavilion or a collectiveSynthetic bodyMonster informing multiple digital individual bodies that visitors can experience in real-time. \n@alienartificialintelligence \n@_ _uliap_ _ \nPlease note that this event develops over 2 floors and there is no lift access in the building. Therefore\, the top floor is not wheelchair accessible. However\, the experience is live-streamed throughout the evening on the ground floor\, which is wheelchair accessible.
