ALTERED LEVELS VOL.1 brings together experimental live performance, techno, EBM, dark electronics, audiovisual installation and expanded club culture for a night unfolding across multiple sensory layers at Peckham Levels.
A hybrid audiovisual gathering where sound, moving image and spatial intervention merge into a single immersive environment.
Presented by Altered Images and Iklectik, the event marks a new collaboration between two platforms committed to experimental art, underground music and immersive audiovisual experiences in London.
Gregory Markopoulos, one of the most singular filmmakers of 1960s American underground cinema and a central figure in both the New American Cinema and the Filmmakers’ Cooperative, left the United States for Europe in 1967. By the time he was conceiving Gammelion, several unrealized production plans, declining health, and financial hardship had already converged upon him. He had once intended to film Julien Gracq’s novel The Castle of Argol at the Castello di Rocca Sinibalda in Italy, but the project never came to fruition.
Hard Reset is a performance project, sculpture, and video installation by artist Jill Miller, which employs the humiliations and ritualized punishments of sado-masochism as instruments of justice in the face of the environmental crisis, playfully asking: Is it possible to make the people who profit from technological systems answerable for the environmental destruction they cause through the erotic disciplining of the body?
