Fellow AV-workers,
The 8th day of the 8th month this year will forever be remembered as the day where the video industry was reclaimed, and the day we began to make VHS free again - we're gonna make it free, great and free.
August 8 is the day that the 8th edition of THE 24 HOUR VHS MARATHON will take place. This is gonna be a great event, it's gonna be so good. Not like the other years... I mean, the other years were good too, in fact really good, but this year is gonna be the greatest, really great!
You know, God created Earth and all in 7 days. Think about that. Just 7 days. One of them he rested even. But we're not gonna rest. We have a lot of work to do. That's why we need an 8th day.
We're not gonna plan anything. We're just gonna be there, and you come, and it'll be great.
It's gonna be analog and it's gonna be great, because analog is great. And VHS-fabrikken is the greatest of the analog. Truly is.
And for 24 hours we are gonna make VHS and make VHS great again!
That means we are gonna keep on recording. Even if we have to flod the tapes with sh!t, we'll keep on recording. I'm telling you: We wont rest until we've recorded all 24 hours. Because it's a marathon, you know. Let's hope that Sleepy Joe wont come.
It's all free. Wont cost a thing. And you can come and go as you like. Even during the night. You can stop by there and see what's going on. We hope you stay.
AMOK is selling some beers and soda that you can buy. But you gotta pay for them, pay for your beers and soda. And if you don't pay for them, in fact, I will encourage AMOK to do whatever they want to do to you. You gotta pay your bills!
But I'm sure you're all gonna.... come along. We need this marathon for both national and international security. This is going to be the greatest VHS marathon of all time.
No matter what happens, the final product will be six VHS-tapes of 4 hours - six great tapes. I know the digicrats will say that is boring. It's all fake news! Don't believe what they're telling you. The digicrats are crooked, crooked digicrats, all of them. VHS has been treated so badly for so many years. They've treated us so bad.
But the AV-workers know this will be great. Both union and non-union. All workers know it. And long. 24 hours is a long time, but we're gonna do it, and it's going to be great. In fact, the greatest VHS marathon of all time.
You don't wanna miss that!
***
For the event, VHS-fabrikken will offer their means of productions to the AV-workers, while we record whatever happens on six E240 VHS-tapes. The final product will be digitized and released in public domain for further circulation, up-cycling and remixing.
The marathon is free to attend, and participants can come and go as they wish during the entire event.
It begins on Friday the 8th of August at 12.00 (noon) and ends 6 VHS-tapes later (approx. Saturday the 9th of August at 12.30).
Location (as always): AMOK, Rosenkrantzgade 1b, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark.

@10years (1/7)
Få steder har betydet så meget i mit liv, som @amok har. Da jeg første gang besøgte det lille rum i en baggård ved rutebilstationen, var der ikke meget mere end en madres, et skrivebord og en højtaler. Men snart skulle AMOK blive smeltedigel ikke bare for 4 vidunderlige kunstnere, men også for et væld af udtryk, der spændte over noise, performancekunst og politisk aktion.
@10years @amok (2/7)
Rummet voksede hurtigt til en mystisk samling af anarkistiske slogans, gammelt elektronisk udstyr og betagende værker. Det var et atelier lige så meget som et spillested og en varmestue. Og hver gang jeg kom der og lærte miljøet at kende, var det som om AMOK først og fremmest var indhyldet i noget performativt. Som om hver handling eller ord potentielt rummede en revolutionær gestus.
@10years @amok (4/7)
En af mine bedste minder var fra festugen 2017, hvor vi lavede AMOK 19c nede på Spanien 19c. I denne uge spiste, sov og skabte vi sammen i en konstant proces, hvor kunst og liv blev til ét. Sådan føltes det indtil "publikum" kom ind i køkkenet, hvor vi sad, snakkede og røg, og spurgte, hvornår der skete noget.
Altid?
Aldrig?
Hvad skulle man svare? - se jer omkring!
@10years @amok (6/7)
Der har aldrig været en "scene" på AMOK, som var højere end at alle kunne træde op. Og der var ingen backstage, hvor kunstnere kunne gemme sig bagefter. Man stiller sig op, fordi man har noget, man arbejder med, er inspireret af og vil dele. Og bagefter flyder man tilbage i massen, hvor man forhåbenlig har inspireret eller provokeret den næste.
På den måde har hele AMOK været én organisk bevægelse af inspirationer og modreaktioner.

Vi gør det igen!
I denne sjette udgave af AMOK Læsninger udfordrer Kasperaliteten deltagerne til at imitere andre forfattere, (kan være i form, emne eller fremførsel), imens Esben sideløbende fejrer sin fødselsdag.
Man er velkommen til at tage imod udfordringen og fejre efter forgodtbefindende.
Vi sætter læsningen og den eksperimenterende optræden i centrum - som altid uden mikrofoner, spotlys og scene.
Program (opdateres løbende):
- Esben
- Kasperaliteten
- Rudi
- Dig?!
Tag endelig også din tekst med, hvis du selv vil læse op - eller skriv til os på amok@amok.today, hvis du vil direkte på programmet.
Der er gratis entre og billig bar.
"AMOK LÆSNINGER" er et tilbagevendende arrangement - følg siden her for at få flere litterære og kulturelle opdateringer!
AMOK er støttet af Aarhus Kommunes Coolturudviklingspulje
