The performance will take place in Lecture Hall 1 (LT1) at RCA Kensington.

Join us for endurance reading, listening, watching and playing. Collectively we will detect the limits of our comprehension, languages, pattern recognition, law, auditory senses, vision, playfulness and memory. Over seven sessions, we will decipher non-human music, read excerpts of banned books, suffer modern torture practices, withstand jarring banalities, share gibberish, discover pain thresholds and so on.

Participants of Architecture Design Studio 12 (ADS12) will present and moderate discussions for each session.
