XPUB1 (first-year students of the Piet Zwart Institute’s Experimental Publishing MA) invite you to participate in their first collective public appearance: a moment of making things (public). This event is free!

They write: “Through a series of experiments at Radio WORM, we’ve been asking ourselves: What is radio? What does it mean to “go live” and perform together? Imagine the thrill—and the nerves—of creating something live, using your voice, thoughts, and experimental sounds that use little to no conventional means of expression.

“We invite you into a communal space where such moments can be lived together, stretching the boundaries of connections through DIY sounds and self-made protocols. These protocols aren’t just guidelines telling us what to do; they’re creative proposals that open up space for improvisation and re-invention. We see them as tools for collaborative engagement, empowering all of us to create in the moment and transform live sound together.”

So jump in for recording, transforming and performing sound with XPUB1! This event is for anyone who appreciates the raw, transformative power of sound. Join in shaping a live moment of collective expression, where live sound performance is felt, shared, and re-imagined together.

The results of these collective audio experiments will be recorded onsite, and possibly used as materials for future episodes of the collective’s weekly radio show, that you can hear every Monday from 10am-12pm until the end of this academic year.

This event is made possible with the financial support of the Network for Archives of Design and Digital Culture
