Joe Banks/Disinformation Talk + Performance



As part of Julie F Hill & Gauld Architecture Oct 2019 – Jan 2020 exhibition 'Uncertain Ruins' at Swiss Cottage Gallery Joe Banks was invited to present a brief discussion of ideas explored in his exhibition Language [as] Meta-Technology, that explored ideas of language and (auditory and visual) semiotics, in part expressing these ideas through the medium of voice synthesis – the artificial production of human speech. Joe will also read selections from historical and fictional sources, which explore aspects of language and architecture, knowledge and infinity experienced from alternately prosaic and fantastical perspectives.


Disinformation is an electronic music installation art and research project, which has been described by The Guardian newspaper as producing ‘some of the most beautiful installations around’. 



Disinformation presented Language [as] Meta-Technology – the first Passen-gers Offsite exhibition at Sluice HQ, Hackney, Nov 2018. 

Disinformation producer Joe Banks is a former AHRC sponsored researcher at Goldsmiths College and the University of Westminster, and is author of the critically successful research monograph Rorschach Audio – Art & Illusion for Sound published by Strange Attractor Press.
