Doors 7pm, Performance + sonic talk, 8pm

Time Zero is a sonic talk on nuclearism, its aesthetics, and its influence on the paranoiac cultural architecture of postwar America. This live presentation is an adapted preview of the Time Zero podcast, an episodic narrative on the legacies of nuclear weapons development and testing, uranium mining, atomic energy, and the ethical and engineering paradoxes of nuclear waste disposal. Available in late March, Time Zero includes new interviews with artists Trevor Paglen, Rose B Simpson, Richard Misrach, Joanna Keane Lopez, and more, as well as an original drone soundtrack composed by Sean J Patrick Carney.

Sean J Patrick Carney is an American writer, researcher, composer, and visual artist. He teaches interdisciplinary art at the University of Florida. www.sjpc.work
