The creation of Desire Machine coined as ‘Noise Life’ presented the deconstructed image sequences through the rhythm of recorded sounds. Based on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari called schizoanalysis, which deals with intense sensory experiences, the work depicted the noisy and chaotic, yet routine experiences of everyday life.

In contrast to Noise Life was the installation

Kora

by ABARI Collective. Kora is the prayer movement made in

Tibetan

Buddhist temples. The monks circle around the temple in a clockwise direction, rotating prayer wheels as they go. In this way, the walk becomes meditation and the audience is invited to release themselves from the ‘noise that is life’. It took three days to a team of people to put together the Kora at the Horizon Plaza.
