Rhythm Machine

It's with a heavy heart that we've decided to cancel this Saturday's Rhythm Machine in light of the Coronavirus pandemic.

This decision was not made lightly, given the work already put in by our guest artsists Cat and Éiméar, Summerhall and ourselves - and the numerous people financially dependant on the event. However after reading and listening to as many first hand accounts and informed analyses as possible, we believe it's the best decision for the health of communities here and abroad. There's no accurate estimate for how many people are currently carrying the virus in Scotland, but if we consider how the situation has developed elsewhere in the world, we feel it's only sane to take preventative action while we can.

All advance tickets will be refunded – Summerhall will be in touch with everyone who has already purchased imminently. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.

We don't think panic helps anyone, but we know that precaution does. We hope you all stay safe and happy this weekend, and we hope to see you again very soon.

This Saturday 🧼 Rhythm Machine at Summerhall // Sat 14th March

Guest artists Cat and Éiméar McClay present new video installation work alongside the main dancefloor 🧢

“Our work focusses on themes of queerness, magic and objectification, which we explore primarily through video, photographic collage, and installation. Using 3D modelling and animation, we construct surreal events that would otherwise be impossible. We are interested in the materiality of digital media, which we play with by capturing and experimenting with glitches and mistakes in our footage. Queering traditional narratives within our videos and imagery, allows us to subvert typical heteronormative patriarchal behaviours and expectations. We use Photoshop as a tool to create magic. It allows us to fragment and dismember images of our bodies and objects, and use them to build immersive virtual and physical spaces.”
