An essay written by Rebecca Bibby, designed by An Endless Supply, printed and produced by Polly Fibre, as part of "Ultra High Temperature" at Eastside Projects, 15 October 2010.
From the Eastside Projects website: "Ultra High Temperature #1, initiated by Rebecca Bibby (b. 1986, UK) forms the first in an ongoing project which explores the realms of collaboration, performance, writing and publication as artistic vehicle of production, dispersion and progression. Ultra High Temperature #1 will be launched, printed, compiled and distributed as a live performance on the opening night. Rebecca Bibby will be producing an essay that re-fictions the futuristic projections of technosexuality in Metropolis (1927); artist/designers An Endless Supply will be designing this essay and the duo's Risograph stencil printer will take residence in the exhibition space throughout the show. As a crude avatar of Rebecca Bibby’s practice UH Thompson will, on this occasion, be embodied by Aikon-II, a mechanically programmed signature machine which will automatically sign each copy of the essay. The production process will be performed, sampled and packaged by London-based electronic noise group Polly Fibre whose ‘flat-pack’ costumes will be on display throughout the exhibition."
