Employing a blend of cutting-edge digital and archaic, often lo-fi analogue technologies, Sculpture’s arsenal includes reel-to-reels, Walkman cassette players and a custom zoetrope-like A/V set-up based on hacked vinyl turntables. Sculpture is visually ingenious, hallucinatory, dense and defined by magnetic, physical tape manipulation, found sounds, and reverb and delay for miles.
