At this page we are globally extending the three performances of Joshua Light Show with special guests Supersilent (no) ft.

With Manuel Göttsching, Oneohtrix Point Never and Supersilent with Stian Westerhus.
At the centre of the performance programme is the legendary Joshua Light Show, who in the 1960s appeared at the New York Fillmore East club alongside Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and The Doors. Originally working with an entire arsenal of film-, overhead-, and slide-projectors, colour wheels and various light-producing and reflecting objects, founder Joshua White will, after a long break, perform again in a setting which combines analogue with modern digital projection techniques. As part of transmediale, and in cooperation with CTM.12 – Festival for Adventurous Music and Related Arts, a series of collaborations with musicians will be initiated, bringing together analogue and digital sound-production, and featuring exponents of so-called “hauntology pop”.
