Schemata 2.0 - IDENT
⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜
Best Viewed on Chrome.
[Content Warning: This show contains themes which may make some people feel uncomfortable]
In Schemata’s 2nd show we question Identity.
Progressing from Vortex, where we spontaneously generated from the void,
IDENT our next show looks at us creating our platform with intent - evolving and forming our identity.
What are we? What do we want to be? How do we move beyond?
We’ve invited artists that we feel have a deep interest in personal and social identity and human physicality and it’s bounds, to bring works that they feel interpret identity within their own personal realm.
Working with artists from many spheres of the alternative, we present a show that is as mixed up as it is definitive. Deliberately obscure and contrasting, we embrace all art forms and mediums, as we attempt to represent a cross-section of Self-Identity.

Compiled by Good Night Out, the campaign for safer nightlife, in partnership with Galop, the UK’s LGBT+ anti-violence charity, this poster is part of an all-gender access toolkit for any space that provides toilets for visitors. It has been written with nightlife premises such as venues, pubs, bars, and clubs in mind, but can help leisure, arts and cultural spaces too. If you want to make sure your place of business offers bathroom facilities that all customers feel safe and comfortable using, regardless of their gender identity or gender expression, read on.
Good Night Out Campaign is on a mission for safer nightlife. We believe nights out should be about fun and freedom, not fear. We help nightlife spaces and organisations to better understand, respond to, and prevent gender-based violence, through specialist training, policy support and an accreditation programme. Let’s change the party to change the world.

'Hangul Stroop 909' (2020) is a piece about disfluency based on the well-known Stroop effect, a phenomenon first described in the 1930s by psychologist John Ridley Stroop. The Stroop effect is the delay in reaction time between automatic and controlled processing of information, in which the names of words interfere with the ability to name the colour of ink used to print the words. Here, the names of the colours are printed in Korean, so it may only trigger that effect on Korean speaking people. For the rest, it's mostly fun colours and bloated kick drums. The music is part of DIAG909 (see https://e-v-o-l.bandcamp.com/album/diag909/).
As individuals we identify ourselves in many ways, some we choose and some which will be forced upon us. An individual can be at once, father, brother, son and husband, mother, sister, daughter and wife, we are our gender, we are our sexuality, we are our religion, our loves and our hates. INT 563 shows both the positive and negative nature of identity, played out side by side. As individuals we can rise above certain identities which can hold us down, while embracing the identities we cherish most in ourselves. https://www.klinesinclair.com/ t: @KlineSinclair i: @klinesinclair
Although Silva specialises in digital art, her work is inspired by the traditional processes of sculpture and primarily revolves around an embodiment of a creature she calls Venus. Venus is an ethereal being; an unknown femme entity, unconventional and powerful, forming a three-dimensional dissident often taking on different forms. Venus creates a narrative that unfolds with its circumstances. By registering “the singular”, Venus represents a collective identity which is returned to reality by the new media, further acquiring new meanings as it passes through time alongside society.

Two Lines by OK is a slow reflection on abortion.
Individuation is an animated short by digital artist Chris Speed Visuals (CSV) which serves as a spiritual sequel to his earlier work entitled “SHDW.” By creating dystopian virtual worlds using game engines, the artist is attempting to reflect and individuate with his practice, in a Jungian sense. This work predominantly addresses themes of surveillance, as it tells the story of a simulation controlled by an unseen artificial intelligence akin to AM in the novel I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream. We are witness to a Zero-Sum Game, as the AI unleashes a plethora of facial detection technologies while the creature fights back with its own scrambling devices to obscure its identity. Weightless jungle beats soundtrack this immersive experience, as the camera accelerates through the scene leaving behind motion artefacts.
This work aims to build a narrative between Rivington Terrace Gardens in Lancashire and Port Sunlight in Merseyside, both once owned by the liberal industrialist William Hesketh Lever (1851-1925), through a combination of filmed site-specific and home-studio performances that explore histories in the production, distribution, and consumption of soap. We draw from the analyses of Stuart Hall, Roland Barthes, Mary Douglas, and Friedrich Engels to situate William Lever’s idiosyncratic industrial practice within ideologies of management and cleanliness. In playing on the Pre-Raphaelite-inspired marketing devices used by the Lever Brothers corporation (now Unilever), the seductive material qualities of soap, and the gesture of washing, we seek to satirically articulate the co-partnership model of capitalism that sold not just soap, but the image of a better society. The two selected sites serve as interlinked situational points within art and industry in the early 20th-century, which we intend to reappraise through a narrative that leverages historical documentary against the erotic poetics of soap. The work will be filmed on iPhone and brought together with an original soundtrack produced in collaboration with Timothy Cape (Bastard Assignments).

Whorus is part of a series of pieces depicting the common trait of referring to females as animals. This piece, represents bird and also pokes fun at the conflation of this with the egyptian god Horus, who has the head of an eagle... A.n0nE is part of the anonymous art collective Anti-Gang
UDOU is a piece that questions the illusion of freedom. The every-person who dangles in the air, can only see in one direction - forwards. But we, the viewers have a wider view and can see the claws holding up the every-person. Freedom to be who we are and the control we believe we have over our lives is nothing more than a fairytale. www.levesque.co.uk www.thePULP.co.uk
