We are excited to announce another groundbreaking event as part of the Hybrid Venue research project. Co-curated by IKLECTIK, CSTC and Gustav Thomas, the live event will take place at Star & Shadow in Newcastle and at Goldsmiths in London, celebrating once again IKLECTIK’s 10th anniversary of pushing boundaries in experimental music and arts.
The event will feature 3 remote collaborative performances using JackTrip technology, a revolutionary low-latency tool that enables real-time, multi-channel performances across distances.
Audiences in Newcastle and London will witness artists from both cities performing together as though they were in the same room, showcasing the power of technology to create new forms of live artistic expression.
Programme: Atau Tanaka (London) + Noize Choir (Newcastle) Dane Law (London) + Gwilly Edmondez (Newcastle) Sharon Gal (London) + Mariam Rezaei (Newcastle)

Over the past decade, IKLECTIK has supported innovative artistic endeavour, conducting independent research and partnering with local and international institutions. From performances and festivals to workshops and film screenings, IKLECTIK’s diverse programming has continuously enriched the cultural landscape. This year’s event marks another milestone in IKLECTIK’s commitment to expanding the possibilities of performance art.
At Goldsmiths University, the Center of Sound Technology and Culture (CSTC) plays a vital role in exploring the intersections of sound, technology, and artistic practice. Known for fostering cutting-edge research and experimentation in fields like digital performance and sound art, CSTC offers a perfect platform for innovative events like Hybrid Venues. With its focus on live technology and creative experimentation, Goldsmiths continues to push forward the boundaries of how sound and performance are experienced and shared.
Star & Shadow in Newcastle, known for its independent, volunteer-run ethos, has been a vibrant hub for alternative arts and community-driven projects. Its dedication to grassroots cultural programming makes it the perfect venue to host this unique event, offering a space where experimental art and new technologies can flourish. Hybrid Venues offers an exciting opportunity to experience the future of live performance. Join us in Newcastle or London for this one-of-a-kind event that will redefine how we experience collaborative art in the digital age.
