Noise in the Dark: A Conversation on Xper.Xr

On the occasion of Xper.Xr’s exhibition “Tailwhip” at Hong Kong’s Empty Gallery, Jaime Chu, phoning in on a video call, joined curator and researcher Michelle Wong on a walkthrough. The show, which collects documentation, artefacts, and ephemera from throughout Xper.Xr’s nearly thirty years of activity in the industrial noise music and anti-art realms, is a rare window into Hong Kong's poorly-documented underground scene – colourful and full of petty spats that reflect the unruly energy of Xper.Xr’s multifaceted practice.
