“Marking 100 years since its initial release, The Kid (1921) tells the story of Charlie Chaplin’s loveable Tramp character as he battles on the streets for survival with his orphaned counter-part, played by 6 year old co-star old Jackie Coogan.”

“We mine and refine rocks to make pixels glow. Using hacked PC monitors, satellite time-lapse, and found footage of electronics manufacture and recycling, this new video installation connects the flickering screen image with the cycles of extraction that make its appearance possible, asking how many pixels and how much screen time the planet can sustain.”

“The distinctive Dusk Brothers sound derives from self-built instruments including box guitars (one of which also functions as a bass), percussive stomp-boxes with foot operated cymbals, various percussion instruments made from anything they can get their hands on (think old oil cans, pots and pans etc) and valve guitar amplifiers built from scratch in their own workshop to their own specifications. Combining these one-of-a-kind instruments with growling vocal harmonies and blues harp, the brothers are "cowboy-hatted shamans capable of eliciting a fierce and frenzied reaction in their listeners and are just as capable if not more so of replicating that magic live.” (whatculture.com)”
