Consumer, Refund? A strange relational vessel…
C-Refund is wave-riding into a collective glitch, within coded-system of personal and collective fragmentations - producing rhythmic [sound] alchemy through a power-game with modern machine, circling in re-turn to receive digi-blessings from ancient source wisdom.
At home in the liminal spaces of post-digital-era and re-sourced out of anonymous, private exchanges over internet dream-archive, C-Refund is for expansion of interiority through offering reflection, representing (intra)subjective dimensions as diverse, multi-layered, abstract; reflecting shadows of dark and light shimmering on digital-cave-walls in technicolor.
Driven forward by punchy, beat-held-and-driven electro sonic architectures, morphing and evolving outside of club-format, C-Refund transcendental conflicts and psychic images honor resistance as our ultimate creative instigator.
Field recordings, samples, acoustic instruments, and voices arising from within machines create pop - fluid vs not-fluid - narrative journeys, descending into rituals by factories upon factories, deep within tropical, midnight jungles.
--------------------------------
Consumer Refund is an ongoing project which functions as psuedo-other and exists through sound, image, experience, dream archive and online space.
Spawned from the questioning of enjoyment and the pressure to enjoy, within hyper-consumptive society - described through Lacanian theory of jouissance - Consumer Refund compounds the complex, dissonant and neurotically contradictory realities experienced through the female lens in the age of a burgeoning - yet not fully realised - cyberfeminine.
C-Refund evolved out of rhizomatic live-art, beginning as post internet art: an online dream archive, which fostered a private & anonymous connection with the collective unconscious, between the years 2014 - 2020.
-------
The boundaries between real, simulation, dreamt, spirited and imagined is blurred due to authentic yet, radically non-consentual realities jostling for co-exitstence. Their constant dissonance, amplifying the bittersweet connections mirrored by the binaries of human existence : an absurdity of invisibility and incongruence that comes tied with the inescapable humanness of individuality.... humanness that seems to remain unaccounted for, within our controlled systems of imbalanced power.
A playful [yet respectful] take on the industrialisation of psychic health is activated through an invisible service performed by what is constructed as an ‘Intuitive Factory’ - an online, private dream archive to which surfers on the internet can submit to anonymously.
The aim of Consumer Refund is to re-build the fragmented psychic vessel within digital modalities: a process - about expression of the ineffable, finding wholeness within disparate themes, holding anger, rage, grief and dissonance.
Consumer Refund became a digestion centre, a tool, which began using online space - and the internet as an exercise in digitally ‘living out’ shifting entities within consciousness.
The aims of this project continue to boost expressive, uplifting, freeing power - built on authenticity, vulnerability and digital intimacy, for a post-feminist cyber hive mind, re-evaluating the worth of the feminine energy within society activating this psychic algorithm within body [collective and individual].
Sound as rejuvenation-activism.
