RMIT Culture and Dogmilk pres. Anna Vasof and Mochu: inspirational talks on Instagram and TikTok.

Two experimental video-lecture-performances exploring the mirror-world dynamics of what was once referred to as IRL.

Greek architect, media artist, and ringtone composer Anna Vasof performs ‘Issues with My Other Half and Other Stories’, an artist-video-lecture about perspective collapse and body doubles that's more absurd than those overly inspirational talks on Instagram and TikTok.

Experimental writer, video artist, and combat choreographer Mochu presents ‘Toy Volcano’, a speculative video-lecture set in the universe of a forgotten manga about fan-fiction, portable holes, animation theory, machinic delusions, counterfeit theories, Outsider art, suspect materials and the physics of cartoons.

Presented by RMIT Culture and Dogmilk

This program is part of This Hideous Replica (Aug 23-Nov 16, RMIT Gallery and various venues)

 Lifting its title from a misheard line in a 1980 song by The Fall about a reclusive dog breeder whose ‘hideous replica’ haunts industrial Manchester, this experimental project—a concoction of artworks, performances, screenings, workshops, a ‘replica school’, and other uncanny encounters—adopts monstrous replication as a tactic, condition, and curatorial framework for exploring algorithmic culture, simultaneously alienating, seductive, and out-of-control.
