Kai Lam (aka Singlish Punk) is a multi-disciplinary artist with a background in Sculpture. Kai Lam’s foray into aural works and sonic arts is a result of his extended practice in video, installation and performance art.
The participants will need to come prepared and required to bring any numbers of sound producing toys / radio / musical instruments/ musical keyboards / usb speakers etc, as long as the objects are battery operated, they will be suitable for the workshop. The artist will give a brief introduction of circuit bending and begin work with the workshop participants on their machines. The workshop will mostly consist of finding sounds ‘spots’ and soldering knobs and switches onto the circuit boards.
Students must bring these materials: sound producing machines (toys /radio/ instruments, etc), soldering iron / pen, etc… Optional: hot-glue gun, wire cutter. All participants of the workshop will be invited to perform in an improvised jam session together with Kai Lam and their circuit-bent instruments at The Substation Gallery.

Sunday 25th January, 13.00 – 17.00h : Performance art workshop by Marta Moreno Muñoz.
Marta Moreno Muñoz co-founder and director of The Unifiedfield is a performance and video artist with a background in experimental theatre and other time-based arts.
Workshop description:
– Reflection on the main elements and notions of performance art: time, space, presence, concept, process, context, non-representation and participation.
– Reading of the diverse and open definitions given by artists working in performance art followed by a discussion of what experiences or knowledge the students previously had with performance art.
– Activities based on the ‘instructions for performance’ by Yoko Ono, students will conceptualize new instructions in different groups.
– Here and Now: In this exercise students are invited to cross the room as slowly as possible, being feeling fully aware their bodies in space and their relation to it.
– Activity based on the game of the mystical trees of Yogyakarta:
– Ask yourself a fundamental question in regards your present creative process/ the current moment you are living.
– Following your inner compass, develop a special technique to locate two particular spots on the ground.
– With your eyes closed try to walk in a straight line in between those two spots while focusing on your fundamental question.
