NONSITE || Dont Rhine of Ultra-red on Militant Sound Investigation and Cultural Action

Dont Rhine, of the audio activist collective Ultra-red--whose collage based site recordings like *Second Nature* and *Structural Adjustment* combine theory and politics with queer electronica, and engage with crises around HIV and racism--will lead a discussion around two texts his group has drafted, texts that come out of an ongoing effort to further develop their approach to art and activism across specific political investigations and self-organized pedagogy. (Both texts available at links below.)

Ultra-red, who now refer to themselves as a "political-aesthetic organization," appears on the cover of the current issue of WIRE, which features a great article on the collective, a pdf of which is available on this website: http://nonsitecollective.org/ultra-red_wire
