Vladislav Delay & AGF present Rakka
Antye Greie-Ripatti (DE), Vladislav Delay (FI)
The Wire described Vladislav Delay as “one of the most consistently creative artists working today.” Reinventing himself regularly, he takes electronic music where he pleases with a unique blend of depth and detail. His music is like a non-existing soundtrack for the underworld; murky, dark and constrained. Antye Greie-Ripatti (also known as AGF) is a music producer, sound artist & curator, poet, gender activist. Her artistic tools are language, sound, listening, voice, and communication which she expresses in mixed media. Since 2011, she is the organizer and co-founder of Hai Art in Hailuoto. Antye campaigns for diversity in the arts with the women’s collective female:pressure. She runs her own music publishing label AGF Producktion and has collaborated with Eliane Radigue, Gudrun Gut, Kaffe Matthews, Craig Armstrong, and Ellen Allien amongst many others.

Knotting the Memory // Encoding the Khipu_
Patricia Cadavid H. (CO)
This performance wants to pay homage to the Khipu, reusing it as an instrument for interaction and generation of experimental live sound and video. The artist will be a contemporary *khipukamayuq* (Khipu knotter) who seeks to encode the interrupted legacy of this ancestral practice through the knots. With each knot made, an audiovisual composition is constructed that yearns to vindicate the memory and indigenous resistance of the native peoples of the Andes. Triality is an unconventional exploration of VR technologies that challenges the limits of our perception.
