AMASS

AMASS documents and augments 'Amass Radiant Heretics', a 17-hour live internet stream that took place on midwinters night 2020. The artist's book is a collision of the contemporary experience of digital togetherness with residual ideas of ritual and event. AMASS, is fire and light, death and rebirth, a celebration, a gathering, a reading, a performance, and a happening; an evocation of the new underworld. The initial all-night online event included original practice research by Caleb Madden within a digital curation by The Antivoid Alliance (Jim Smithyes, Caleb Madden and Grant Cieciura) incorporating the work of 30+ other artists

Antivoid Alliance - SPAMJAM:Social Parrhesia As Musical JAM- Radio/online broadcast, Radiophrenia festival 2023

If parrhesia once described the bravery of a solo voice against a single force. Then a multitudinous oppression should be met with a chorus of dissent. A collective jamming of the signal; a co-produced glitch, a dissonant polyrhythm set against a discordant song. In defiance of the individualisation of our call the response to repression should be played amongst allies. A rehearsal of a people yet to come in a place still being built, an unspokenword night of joyous resistance, of reverberation and resonance, of Social Parrhesia As Musical JAM.Recorded live at Brighton Electric, Sunday 20 June 2021, Brighton. Accepted and broadcast as part of Radiophrenia festival 202
