The Secret Life of Things, live from Nottingham Contemporary Mike Jay will discuss the case of James Tilly Matthews, an ?incurable lunatic? confined to Bedlam in 1797. Matthews insisted his mind was being controlled by a machine. He is regarded as the first person to present clear symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia, and the Air Loom was an example of paranoid delusion now known as ?the influencing machine.? What seems to be delusion, might alternatively be understood as a heightened ability to read technological change. Author, historian and curator Mike Jay has written widely on the cultural history of drugs, and psychiatry.

"The Line, however light, or uncertain it may be, always refers to a force, to a direction; it is an energon, a labour which reveals, which makes legible the trace of its pulsion and its expenditure. The line is a visible action." - Roland Barthes. Rebecc

Emma Bennett & Antonia Barnett-McIntosh: Accent, live from Arnolfini, Bristol, 7:30pm Using extensive transcriptions, close listening and improvisatory techniques, Accent is a duet, conversation and mutual impersonation by Antonia, a composer and Emma, a performer. This performance is a loose reconstruction, a formal experiment, a stupid game in which Emma and Antonia attempt to impersonate one another?s voices (accents, vocal tones, intonation, sentences). They imitate imitations, talk about talking, and mispronounce words. They hear themselves again, filtered through one another. Sometimes personal, sometimes cultural. And sometimes just like music.

Live from Arnolfini in Bristol, Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Mountain Language, 7:30 BST An audio adaptation of Harold Pinter?s Mountain Language ? a play that acts as an indictment against the bans and regulations enforced upon speech during 1980's Britain and the banning of the Kurdish Language in Turkey. Written in 1988, Pinter?s Mountain Language dramatizes the story of a banned language from the mountains, yet he presents a world where the only language spoken by the characters is English (spoken by both oppressor and oppressed). Lawrence Abu Hamdan will highlight and enhance this confusion of oppressor and oppressed by staging an audio adaptation of the play performed behind a screen to disorientate the ears of the audience - positioning them as enforcers whose role it is to determine which of these voices are forbidden and which are permissible. The performance continues the themes explored in Abu Hamdan?s Aural Contact project ? a scrutiny of the ways in which what we hear is often distorted, manipulated and controlled to achieve political ends. Abu Hamdan will cast performers via a voicemail audition system, inviting participants to telephone an automated voicemail service reading lines from the play ? and selecting eight characters.
