DETACH

DETACH is a collective of two artists – Voltnoi and Quetempo – created in 2015 from the ashes of drog_A_tek and The Erasers.

DETACH work on the different typologies of the practice of everyday life. Their research explores text, sound, moving image, narratives and gestures of pop (sub-)culture that delve into a critique of current socio-economic structures.

Their curatorial and art projects range from festivals and conferences to audiovisual productions, and from real-time cinema performances to cultural interfaces aimed at unfolding obscure realities and futurities in the public sphere. By questioning the limits of representation through user experiences, they aim to slip under the veil that shrouds society in its totality, thus exposing the discrimination – on the basis of class, race, and gender – that threads through its very fabric.

Over the last two decades, they have also busied themselves with projects such as the NoCentral independent gig-space, Bios (Exploring Urban Culture), Synch Festival, OXY Magazine, NoLogo Graphic Design Agency, The Groove Machine, and the Syntax Error? fanzine, to name just a few.
