Musicians and visual artists create sound experiences designed from the development of a sonic or audiovisual world. Consisting of elements that come from reality, but are mixed with fictional elements. Storytelling and working from theoretical or spiritual sources are used as guides to develop certain sounds and images.

The panel will discuss how artists translate their inspirations and fascinations about alternative realities, and how they can be manifested through image and sound. In what ways do musicians, sound artists, and visual artists move between reality and fiction from theory, literature, and/or worldbuilding? How are realities between self and others dealt with? What relationships can be established with image and sound between different bodies and spaces?

Due to an expanding interest in psychedelics, there has been talk of the Psychedelic Revival for some years. Public and scientific interest is growing; from personal use within private time, ritual gatherings, and nightlife use, to experimental healthcare, psychiatry, and even corporate start-ups not wanting to miss the boat. From micro-dosing to macro-markets, it seems that psychedelics and new scientific research are having a growing impact on future embodied perception and rethinking 21st-century realities. If this is the case, how do contemporary arts, media, technology, and music relate to this? What are possible influences and crossovers between psychedelic practices and music, visual culture, and technological developments concerned with natural and synthetic intelligence? And can psychedelics play a role in shaping ecological futures?

What is an art of life for what feels like the end of the world? And how can we understand raving as a form of resistance and reclamation of agency in the face of societal uncertainty? Can it become a space where identities blur, where the crowded dance floor and the throbbing beat become a medium for collective liberation? Raving to techno is an art and a technique at which queer and trans bodies might be particularly adept but which is for anyone who lets the beat seduce them. Join us as we investigate the transformative power of raving bodies amidst social and individual disorder. Within this assembly of different bodies, let us carve out spaces of autonomy and self-expression. Come dance with us through the ruins of our collapsing world as we reclaim joy, connection, and resilience.
