Join us for a talk with New York-based writer and artist Jace Clayton (a.k.a. DJ /rupture) exploring modulation—interpenetration instead of identity—as a framework. Whether it’s with analog synthesisers, train-wreck DJ performances, internet memes, or customised AI tools, Clayton shows how blending and mixing can help us move beyond either/or thinking and create space for collaboration.

Interested in watching DJ /rupture and Lyra Pramuk perform? Register for Mono 58.

We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
