Possession 1994Performance Lecture at Royal College of Art, London Possession was our first vocal performance work. It was inserted into a lecture series called ‘Out of Control’ held at the Royal College of Art. Performers spoke through a vocoder. The work was designed to confuse the voice of the human with the voice of the machine, anticipating development of voice recognition software and considering what kind of liminal affect these types of technology may have. Cyberpositive 19950(rphan)d(rift>)cyberpositive is an experimental sci fi novel, collectively authored by a group of asked and unasked contributors and edited by OD’s Maggie Roberts. It was published in 1995 with support from Nick Land and Cabinet Editions, serving as our manifesto and as the catalogue for the debut exhibition of the same name. It came together in the spirit of much of our visual work, bringing together processes of sampling and looping as well as the Burroughs cut up technique, referring to a breakdown and reordering of language from a post apocalyptic POV. 0(rphan>)d>rift 1994Two room installation of photographic material taken from television screens Cabinet Gallery, London
