Blank Archive - Superconductor

What is Blank Archive? We have been reflecting lately on how to best build cultural capital in Canberra. Great concepts and organising know-how are often lost as people come to Canberra for a reason or a season, and then leave with this knowledge to cities like Sydney and Melbourne. For Canberra to be able to meaningfully build its own scene and reputation, we strongly believe in the need for a library of activations and resources that anyone can access. The ability to see what has come before us is the best guide to what we might create in the future.

For every major event or happening going forward at Blank Cultural Platform, think of Blank Archive as a diary entry.

Superconductor was hosted by Ben Tindale under the artist name Mr. One Oscillator. Ben is a local analogue synth collector and enthusiast, and works as a freelance aerospace engineer and fabricator. He is a lifelong Canberra resident.

Superconductor was a concept event of a day and night live electronic jam, where any local musician was invited to plug in and sync up to a long table of instruments. Ben acted as the ‘super’ conductor, keeping these instruments mixed and EQ’d in real time.

Blank also used the opportunity of 12hrs of live music to invite along members of its community in graffiti and street art to host a painting jam, where we mural’d our terrace over the course of the gig.

What a little treat we have cooking for you!

Kicking off You Are Here’s series of delightfully cozy winter workshops and gigs, we’re thrilled to welcome Sandy Ma for a very special weekend of sound, textiles and curious joy.

On Sunday 7 June, join Sandy for a two-hour Touching Wires workshop exploring textile computing, embroidery and sound-making through reflective storytelling and e-textiles.
With a background in creative computing, Sandy’s practice intersects embodiment, sound and performance to create playful and surprising interactive experiences. In this hands-on workshop, participants will embroider conductive textiles that can be plugged into Sandy’s Touching Wires synthesiser system to create sound, before taking home their own conductive embroidered memories.

Sunday 7 June
2pm-4pm
Hosted by at .platform

You can also catch Sandy performing with their Touching Wires synthesiser system the night before, at the vegetable.machine.animal gig on Saturday 6 June, joined by local legends including Reuben Ingall, Harland Rust and Feemer.

Bonus treat: if you grab a ticket to the gig first, you’ll get a discount on the workshop ticket.

and both love jazz fusions, great conversations on a night out, and a buzzing dance floor, so we’re hosting Jazz and Friends.

This is a chance to experience jazz in a social and uninhibited setting; not as background music or a seated concert, but as something rhythmic, open, communal and alive. We’re cultivating a space that feels safe to be yourself as you’re welcomed into a colorful new world for the night.

MUSIC — Our lineup features .5 joined by , .way.orkestra, @6, and GaraĂșjo; bringing together contemporary jazz, jazz-hop/hip-hop, afrobeat, afrofunk, ska, and minimal house fusions.

ART — We’ll have live art from creating an original work in response to the sights and sounds of the night. You’re free to join him! We’re supplying paint and open canvases for anyone to get inspired and immersed.

DANCE — You can expect a zero judgement environment where you’re equally free to kick back on a couch while chatting with new and old friends, or dance your heart out on Blank’s open air rooftop. Issy is a professional breakdancer and Elvis grooves like a newborn giraffe—we will both be equally enthusiastic on the dance floor.

Come by! We’d really love to see you! Tickets in bio;)
