London based Artist and musician Anneke Kampman presents Her-Modulo, an evening event that forms the first public event of Anneke’s ongoing research into music technologies and their shaping of culture and desire.
Anneke will perform All Fidelity, a new performancee using voice, live sampling, collage and amplified CD players.
“The soft aspirations of a synthesised female voice resonate from a Muji wall-mounted CD player in a kitchen in the Bunkyo-ku district of Tokyo, Japan, 1999. Modelled on a kitchen extractor fan and created by industrial homeware designer Naoto Fukasawa, the device was intended to trigger an instinctive or unconscious response without operating instructions....“
Combining synthesised voice and sound, All Fidelity takes apart the frequencies of a new wave-formed body, an economy of feminised sound, re-imaging a new sensorium from its collaged parts.
After the performance writer and lecturer Paul Rekret will present Future Music Infrastructures - a talk examining the relationship of ‘the home’ to recorded music. Taking Muji's wall-mounted CD player as a starting point, Paul will trace a trajectory from the idealised domesticity for which the player-piano and gramophone stood as emblems - to the frictionless mobility of Bluetooth speakers and playback technologies that have played a central role in shaping the experience of ‘place’.
To see out the evening Louis Digital (Louis Moreno) will play special selected DJ set.
Anneke Kampman is a London-based artist and musician working at the intersections of writing, performance, music, and the moving image. Her works draw from her own experiences as a musician alongside the methods and arguments of critical theory re-staging the techniques of the cultural industries in an “immanent critique” of pop.
Recent video and performance works explore the politics and multivalent histories of popular music’s global circulation via visual media such as music-video. She completed a practice-led PhD at the School of Fine Art in 2023. Anneke was an associate artist at Open School East (2016-2017) and resident artist at Somerset House (2018-2021) with the artist collective Common Study, where they facilitated a regular research programme.
Her work has been presented at San Mei Gallery, LUX Artist Moving Image Festival, Pump House Gallery, South London Gallery, Glasgow International Festival, Jerwood Space, Somerset House, La Monnaie De Munt, Café Oto, Mayday Rooms, Chapter Arts Centre, and BBC Tectonics Festival.

He is a member of Le Mardi Gras Listening Collective and Lecturer in the School of Media and Communication at the University of Westminster.
