For Hidden Door’s 2025 Festival Brown presents Rhythms and Rituals of Machines, a site-specific video installation and live performance piece. Conceived as a meditation on the rituals and rhythms of machines and workers that once occupied the former Paper Factory, it reimagines their sounds, shapes, forms, and movements in an immersive audiovisual percussion piece. The piece will be on show as a standalone video installation throughout the festival, enhanced by two live multimedia performances combining reactive visuals with improvised electro-acoustic drumming, electronics and manipulated field recordings.
