BASIC KIND Lecture Series at North End Studios
Basic Kind was a monthly lecture series that introduced new opportunities for presentation, conversation and critical dialogue. We approached the planning of this series with intent to explore various topics and the links between, as well as how each would approach the act of presentation differently; we are interested in highlighting the multifaceted world of presentation and the effectiveness of the different strategies taken.
Each lecture event fell on the 3rd Thursday of the month from 7:00-8:00pm, during DUNCH CLUB at North End Studios.

At the end of the world there will only be liquid advertisement and gaseous desire. Sublimated from our bodies, our untethered senses will endlessly ride escalators through pristine artificial environments, more and less than human, drugged-up and drugged down, catalysed, consuming and consumed by a relentlessly rich economy of sensory information, valued by the pixel. The Virtual Plaza welcomes you, and you will welcome it too." -Adam Harper, Dummy Maggie Mettler
